Hello Everyone. I have to say I am honestly SHOCKED at how this video has affected people and the amount of comments and views it has received. Thank you so much for sharing all of your stories in the comments! I posted this video back in January and my life has drastically changed since then - I have had people reach out to me on instagram to the point where I have not been able to message everyone back. Again I am shocked and honoured. I just wanted to share that I deeply apologize if I have not been able to get back to you and ask for your forgiveness and understanding. I pray you are doing okay and taking things day by day!
I know, I understand ...your video has helped me. Thankyou. I pray you and your mom are not hurting so much anymore. My girl Vanilla Kisses passed away in my arms a month ago, peacefully. 21 years of being my best friend and companion, my heart is so broken.
Thx u for this video. My little 5yr old kitty suddenly died of heartattack at vet recently. She was my world and em struggling for answers. God has a plan for all of us , even our fur babies. I do have faith that we will be together in the afterlife. What would heaven be like without the animals that we loved so much. We will be reunited with everything that makes us happy in life.
Im a 45 years experienced critical care nurse. Ive seen a lot of death, and experienced it personally with family members. None of it has prepared me for losing my boy. Having spent all that time caring for humans, give me an animal any day of the week. My dog taught me more about love than all those years with humans. For real. Take it from me. There are a lot of selfish, entitled, rude and thankless people out there. Humans are overrated in my opinion.
I feel like I wrote this, myself, word for word. And I am, too a Nurse. Unable to have human children, God saw a way to make me a Mommy. I was 45 when I adopted him. He was 7 weeks old & in need of a home. I stopped working & we we’re together 24/7. He went everywhere with me. A beautiful green eyed, short haired, cream color Chihuahua. I named him Bruiser. He gave so much unconditional love; a love I’ve never experienced before. He was my first dog, ever. He passed September 1, 2022 in my arms as I reached the front desk of the animal hospital. I went into shock. Not denial, just pure shock. My blood pressure DOUBLED & I was tacchycardic just sitting there, home alone. I was on my way out of this world but the husband rushed me in. The very next day, one week after my baby passed at 8 years old from an undetected “mass on the heart”, he put an 8 week old puppy in my arms. I would never ever have done that, especially one week after. I couldn’t grieve properly. I didn’t want to cry in front of the new puppy. Well, grief will find a way up & out. It’s so detrimental to one’s health, not to grieve properly; to stuff it down. I’ve lost so many friends & family prematurely & handled all of it with Grace. This is so very different. And having no support here in person is hard. It’s only been 3 months. My entire world changed in just one week. The new puppy is now 5 months old and so polar opposite of Bruiser. Very hyper, doesn’t cuddle or snuggle, is a chewer (hopefully only due to teething), doesn’t sleep. I’m trying my best with him. And what’s left of my shattered heart, hurts for him because he’s not getting the same Mommy Bruiser did. I truly do now know all of this happened for a reason; for our Soul’s growth & learning but that doesn’t make it any easier as I’m human with human emotions. 💔 I feel so broken. 💔
I agree with you . I just put my mix pity down 48 hrs ago. And I have no family or friends and I have PTSD. And deep depression . Before I had my boy flash and humans I agree I live and born in San Francisco .and it was just him and me I'm Hurting so bad lost my mother brother and his passing is overwhelming..
Im in the same boat. The loss of my little Milo has been the worst grief and pain I’ve every felt. The grief, the hurt, the pain I’m feeling is overwhelming. I can’t sleep, I can’t eat. Grief is love that has no where to go 😢
Absolutely! I’ve always said exactly that, because we can’t communicate with our pets to really ask them about things. We have to try to make the right decision for them. I just had to do that 3 days ago with my beautiful 15 yr old cat. It is truly devastating.
Me too. I’m autistic and because I have always struggled with communicating with other people and have been rejected over and over as a result, my cats are my best friends. My childhood cat just passed away this morning. She wasn’t in pain and was with me until the end. I miss her so much
How are you? I just lost my daughter yesterday and I’m so distraught. We just rescued her in August, she was only 1 😭 we found out she had a false pregnancy and the milk she was producing became infected and spread which caused her organs to fail within 6 hours..It happened so quick. I hope you’re doing well, please let me know. Much love 💜
@@coolcatable How horrible. I'm sorry for your broken heart. I didn't see your response until now. I lost my boy in a painful, mysterious way, too. Before seeing your note, I just had a Facebook memory come up from 5 years ago of me and my boy and it hurt my heart. I miss him so. How are you?
Loss of a pet can be as devastating as loss of a loved human person. Exactly the same processes are activated in our minds, the same hormones are secreted. I hate it when people say “it was only a pet, it’s not like you lost a family member”. Losing a pet for me is exactly like losing a family member. Equally painful and it takes so much time to heal. One phrase I like is that grief is like love with nowhere to go. I can definitely feel that it’s true. Thanks for this video!
Absolutely. Not many can say they know us as well as our pets do. There’s a level of intimacy because they’re such an integral part of our everyday lives…not to be taken lightly.
You are exactly correct. This experience is just heart wrenching. Every inch of space in my house, in my yard reminds me of the loss. Thank you for your comment! Some how makes me feel better. My heart goes out to all who are going through this.
I have never had children, but I do believe that losing a pet must feel like losing a child. I’ve seen posts from mothers on sites like these, and some of them get angry and insist that we can’t possibly feel as much grief over losing our pet as they feel over the loss of their child. They insist that it is NOT in any way the same. I really wish they would keep quiet, because they are invalidating our grief, and they have no way of knowing what we’re feeling. I do know that losing my cat has made me cry and grieve more than I have for any human, and I admit that I don’t understand it and it does bother me, but it’s the truth. To me my cat was my baby.
Really good video. I lost my dog 2 days ago. Found her at 5am while getting up for work. See I have seriously bad grief, I keep it to myself, cry alone. I'm a builder and nobody I know owns a dog. Plus crying around the guys is not the done thing. What I have is extreme guilt. It's actually overwhelming. She was being sick day before but she's done that before, Sunday morning she had some food, was drinking water. Then on the evening it escalated. I rang an emergency vet, did a video call they told me she'll be fine. She wasn't fine. Now I have guilt and grief. Even now at work (currently building a garden wall) I have to surpress the urge to cry. I actually feel a pain in my heart. I've even been working later because I just do not want to go home to an empty house without her. I actually lost my temper with a 'friend' who gave me the 'oh well its only a dog, you can get another'. Its like losing a family member. It's terrible. If anyones reading this and you've lost your pet, I really feel for you. I'm going to save this video to my faves and update in a months time, of how I'm dealing with losing her. Maybe it'll help someone.
Your story bought a tear. I hope your receiving signs from her. This intensity of grieving is overwhelming still after 4 months. Would love to hear your update & how your going.
I was looking for comfort when I came upon this video because my pet died 3 weeks ago. It still hurts a lot. There are times when I would miss him so much and the pain is so unbearable I could not breathe. Watching this video gave me comfort. Thank you so much for people like you who understands the pain we go through. I don't know when the pain will stop, but I know there's a reason why this happened and I find comfort in that. My pet's name is Max, I'll miss him for the rest of my life.
I lost my best friend family member of 8 years this past Sunday, he had cancer. I cannot stop the tears, all the good memories hurt so bad. I do not care what people say behind my back. My 4 legged child was my world. It hurts like hell.
My beautiful soul mate transitioned 5 days, I knew the day would come but when it comes !! I’ve never felt pain like this, 7 years of unconditional pure love ,it’s worse than a human leaving as it’s pure love we have with our fur babies so unconditionally xx
Thank you for this Video!! I lost my girl Roxi Today..SHE WAS THE BEST DOG!!!! I MISS HER LIKE CRAZY ... NOTHING FEELS THE SAME NOW !!!💔💔💔💔😢😢😢😢😢😢🙏🙏🙏🙏💜💙💜💙😢😢😢😢😢
Thank you for this. Yesterday evening I had to put my pug Moses to sleep and it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. I feel sadness, emptiness and guilt. I feel like I did something bad. This morning it felt so strange not having to wake up to take him use the restroom or having him here by my side while I work. I don’t know how long I’ll take to get over him but I loved him with all my heart. He was my best friend and my son. I feel like my heart died. Your prayer made me cry but it made me feel ease. Thank you again.
Sorry i never saw your comment earlier, thank you so much for leaving this it's really encouraged me today that i posted this video for a reason. I hope you're doing better today and experience more peace each day as hard as it is. Moses sounds like he had a great life❤️God bless you and your heart man
I put my dog last night, it was one of the hardest things ive done. He took a big chunk of my heart feels empty, sad, and walking into the house and not seeing him there feels a real emptiness! Hope this pain heals fast. He was not just a pet, he was part of my family, the impact is profound. Hope who ever goes through this heal fast. Its a really hard pain i feel not having Colby in my life.
@@victornelson1373 I’m sorry to hear this, just know you aren’t alone. It’s been three months since Moses has been put to rest but not a single day goes by that he’s not on mind. His little urn sits in my living room, so I’m happy he’s home again.
The love of a dog goes unmatched. The companionship is incredible. The comfort they provide is therapeutic. My dogs are my anti-depressants. I just lost two dogs I had for 15 years a month apart, I have 3 Foster fails but not like the life bond I had with my seniors. I lost my therapy, I lost my comfort, I lost my anti-depressants at the time I would need them most. The heart ache is real, the knot in my stomach is still there. I feel empty since they have passed. One of my little fosters dogs feels my pain. She started sleeping on my heart omg it helps. These puppies are my family, they are my children I would fight the devil if it meant keeping them longer in my life. I am truly thankful, even as I am in this deep grief. To experience love this deep. Thank you for sharing this video.
You are completely right, I lost my 14 years old furry friend, he was my every thing. You are right , he was my anti depression, my meditation, and I don’t know how can I live without him.
Thank you for making this video. I recently lost my 3 year old cat to a brain tumor. She had a clean bill of health for I had her checked up every 3 months and then everything went downhill from there. I came home from work one night and my cat was walking around in circles and falling over. I instantly rushed her to the emergency vet and they said it was an infection and sent us home with antibiotics. I was relieved, but in the back of my mind I knew it can’t be an infection. I came home next night from work and she was in the middle of my room looking like something scared the crap out of her. I took her back to the emergency vet again. They said the antibiotics haven’t had a chance to work and I’m being paranoid. I wish being paranoid was the case. I decided to get a second opinion from another urgent care vet. Within 15 minutes they told me she is completely blind and she most likely has a brain tumor that is very aggressive. I left her there at the vet so they could try and help her. Two hours later they called me and said she is going downhill fast and I should say my goodbyes. Needless to say I was crushed inside. I went to say my goodbyes and that was it. Sorry for the long story, but it’s been 3 months and I’m still struggling to get through each day. My 3 year old had a sister who is constantly looking for her and I’ve tried to tell her that her sister died, but pets don’t understand that. I did get 2 more kittens two weeks after she died thinking it would make her sister happy, but that didn’t work like I planned. Now my 18 year old just had to be put to sleep and now mourning two of my cats deaths in 3 months time. I’m just not sure what to do to feel better. I keep blaming myself for not doing something more to help my 3 year old cat, but I know it was out of my control. She was fine one week and dead the next. It happened so fast I can’t make sense of it. I hope her sister gets better over time and I hope I do too. I’ll end this for I could go on and on. God bless you for making this video and making me feel a little better. I guess god has a plan for us and we don’t always understand why things happen. God bless everyone who is feeling the pain of a lost pet and I hope it gets easier for you over time.
I am going through this now.. my baby was only 2.5.. he got bitten by something.. he is always in the house.. this happened when he went out to do potty..the first vet who I thought was the best in the area didn’t diagnose it properly.. he couldn’t find what bit him..keep telling me we have to wait 5 days for the antibiotics to work.. my baby was strong even then..after 5 days they are telling the infection is not stopping and we came to know his kidney failed.. my baby boy.. I took him to another vet..multispeciality..they said we will try this medication and if it does not work we will do dialysis.. we said ok and went home.. I kept thinking should I try another vet because my baby was not eating and puking…my angel he didn’t make it to the dialysis.. he died in front of me my baby having seizures and the thing that makes me the most mad is not one hospital at 5am morning was open in my place..my baby boy.. I keep Regretting not going with him when he went to do potty and taking him to the first vet.. I want to revoke their license so bad
I feel your pain when you said that people really do not understand because for them they are just animals. I feel it to the core now that I just recently lost my soul dog at a very young age (11months old 😭) It’s been more than a month but I’m a mess , I cry so hard still everyday and I feel all alone and people around me expect for me to move on already. And it’s making it so hard for me to process through my grief . This dog, my baby Luca , he was my baby, a family, a friend, a soulmate , never just a dog, we had such a strong bond , among my 3 dogs he was the one I felt so connected with and losing him feels like my world just ended. I took 2 weeks off work, I couldn’t go back to doing things I normally do with Luca and I’m bawling my eyes out especially every waking moment. And I don’t know if it will ever end :( Your video just made me feel like my feelings are valid and that I should not focus on people who are diminishing my grief…
Thank you for sharing your story. I lost my soul dog, Artemis, at the age of 2 yrs 8 months on 12/31/22. I had a total of (4) dogs and he was my special baby. It was sudden and unexpected.
Just this morning I had my 15 year old miniature poodle put down for exactly the same reasons. He was old, blind, kidney failure, bladder stones, bone spurs in his spine, was throwing up most days. I knew it was the right thing to do but the tears just keep coming. I adopted mine when he was 8 and he had real bad teeth then. I was blessed to have my little Baxter for 7 more years before today when we said goodbye. My heart is broken.
I found this video while looking for comfort because my dog died two days ago. I'm a Christian and it seems the Lord led me here. Thank you so much for your wisdom and kind words. I just subscribed. ~ Betty
Let the Lord take tge pain away, find comfort in His love for you & all His creatures. He taketh their breath away, but will call his creatures back to play in the Kingdom upon His return or maybe our fur babies are there now & we will all play in the Garden. God bless you. Love a sister in Christ. Elaine💕🙏
how are you doing now? I lost a dog that basically felt like my child to me recently. I don't want to get over his death because that would feel like I'm abandoning him. I just really want and need him back.
Honestly thank you so much for this video. My puppy passed away last night and I’m super heartbroken I can’t stop crying. He was my second baby and the fact that I wanted to take his pain away but didn’t know how is what is making this process even more harder because I wanted him to get better and I wanted him to last a long time with us. The fact that you touched on faith and God made me cry even more because I started to think God was forgetting about me and not answering my prayers. For a reason I had to see your video. There’s so many videos and for some reason I clicked on yours and I’m so glad I did. I just hope God gives me the strength to deal with the emptiness im having inside of me.
I lost my sweet boy a month ago.. I'm absolutely DEVASTATED. This video helped. Thank you. A few thoughts: I spent an incredible amount of money (enough to buy a new car) for my dog's 15 month cancer treatment. I would absolutely do the same given the same choice. He was worth every dime, and I'm glad I placed his needs above my finances.. Never apologize for doing everything you can for your dog. Never apologize for feeling devastated and for your intense emotions and grieving. Your reaction shows you had a love-bond with your dog and have a good heart.. My grieving is intense and I can hardly work. If people don't understand that, then that is THEIR issue, not mine. Please grieve and ignore the others. You have a sacred bond with your dog. Embrace that bond and honor it. Finally, please adopt elderly dogs!!!! I have. They need a loving home more than most. Bring those elderly dogs home, love them, and give them the best remaining life.. I'm sorry for everyone's loss here.
Yesterday I lost my beautiful beloving 17 years old beagle, love of my life! . I woked up today without purpose to live, I'm so lost, hurts like hell with every breath I take. Thank you so much for your video, your voice, your story is calming my broken 💔 💔💔💔
I lost my cat two days ago, he died in my arms. Now there is this endless void inside of me and I just don't seme to understand what has happened. My heart aches so much and I can still see him, hear him and feel him!
I lost my almost 14 year old cat almost 9 days ago and I've been a wreck ever since. I had it set up to go and get a kitten, but I'm not up to it right now it felt disrespectful so soon, so I'm going to wait a while she was my only pet and I loved her like my daughter i feel like giving up.
Mate i feel your pain, my ginger cat saved my life three times, once after the failure of my marriage, second indirectly by making me take a day off one day and the last time the day he was fading away to nothing. Hed been my rock from day one when I rescued him and we were buds like a dog was to anyone. That very last day despite him being unable to move all but one leg, he dragged himself across the floor and looked out at the sunset with me. So despite all the horror and sadness he found a way to tell me that the sun will set again tomorrow and he will always be with me. My charlie bear was only 10 human years old and unfortunetly i was unable to financially save his life, with $5000 for blood transfusions, $1600/ night for afterhours care overnight and thousands on scans and tests Literally $1000 for a simple ultrasound and another $1000 for a simple blood test. I will never forget the pain of deciding to force him to give up his life. He was born with a supposed heart murmour and dumped by breeders into rescue care, but his heart was so bloody strong, despite the vallium and sedatives the vet gave his meow when that green needle went in will haunt my dreams forever. So in some ways i hope i was able to allow him an easy way out, but in some ways i believe i killed my best friend, something that i alone will have to carry till my end.
@@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi Charlie understands and loves you all the more for making the deep decision to end his suffering. I don't know why God creates all this deep love only to end in deep pain. All anyone here can really know is that they are not alone.
My two cats (same litter siblings) died a few montbs apart aged 14 almost 2 years ago. I had so many opportunities to get kittens since but i just couldn't bring myself to. I have no idea if i could have a pet again, even though I've always been a pet lover and get along with most pets, cats or others, that i meet. These two were just too precious, plus i find pet old age devastating. I do hope your pain got a little easier as time goes.
We buried our sweet beloved German Shepherd 3 Mondays ago. I just got done watering the Calla Lily we planted on top of him. I had to pause in comment about you rescuing a dog from Korea from the meat trade. It absolutely devastates my heart that there are still people out there that are willing to consume the flesh of these beloved angels. I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving this beautiful baby. I am so incredibly sorry for your loss
I lost my 7 years and 8 month old GSD on 2nd July at 10 PM. He had stopped eating and was lethargic so we took him to a vet that very day. The doctor thought it was either dehydration or something to do with the liver. The test results were not exceptionally alarming expect for a high RBC count. We had an ultrasound scheduled for the next day when the night before we observed bloating and assumed it must be because he hasn't eating anything in three days and has only been on IV. After 3 days of continuous vet visits, IV fluids, attempts to feed him with a syringe, thinking it was just dehydration and genuinely believing he would get better, my heart sank at the sight of that weird liquid being extracted out of his body. All his life I had done everything to make his life his better so he wouldn't have to suffer in any way possible. I hadn't even left him alone ever in life and he had company no matter what. We found he had some form of cancer but the tumour on his bladder had burst and his entire belly was filled with some kind of fluid. I could see he was in a lot of discomfort even after being on painkillers. But he was such a strong willed dog and full of life that even while going to the Emergency Ward he spent his last ride in the car standing up and trying his level best to look at the outside world. He loved car rides and I am thankful he was able to enjoy car rides for the last 3-4 days because the vet was 30 mins away from our place. Seeing him laying on the table, helpless and confused broke me. I knew I couldn't see him suffering so when the doctor asked I said Yes. I saw him Passing away and I can neither sleep nor eat and the thought of him being in pain haunts me. His death was so sudden and I had so many things planned for the coming winter, when the weather would be nicer for him. I had planned to spend the winter on a farm he liked. He was taken away too soon. My whole life revolved around him, taking care of him, anticipating his every need. Now I feel alone and empty without my best friend, my baby. His death has been the biggest shock of my life. I have never felt pain quite like this. He was and always will be the best part of my life. I will try to emulate and be like him. He taught him so much. He was such a hardworking dog that even when his tumour had burst causing his bladder to rupture, he barked twice when he heard someone knock on the door. He was on duty, on guard until the moment he died. I miss him so much.
My puppy passed away June 1th, one month earlier. She was five years old. She was and will always be the biggest part of my life. Her death just devestated my heart and my daily life as well. I never thought she could have been taken away so soon in such a painful way.
@@huanhuansowner8214 I am so sorry for your loss. 5 years is young. I felt cheated when he died. Like he was unfairly taken away from me. I was out with my friend drinking last night and ended up crying at the cafe. Even though it's been more than three since he left, I have cried every week. Some days are better than others but he is always there on my mind. The only difference, in the initial days it was too difficult to see other dogs but now I go out of my way to pet random dogs. So last night, when I came out of the cafe I saw a street dog and I wanted to just keep petting him so I scratched his ears and gave some love that I can't give my dog anymore.
Thank you for the care in which you made this gift to those of us that have and continue to struggle with the grief that comes from losing a dear "friend" You are a gifted young woman and I appreciate your time and effort to deliver this message You have helped me so very much to accept this pain and try to move on from it I am and will continue to hurt but listening to your gift of words is freeing I will follow your lovely words of wisdom God Bless you ❤
its not just the loss as in he isnt here right "now" its the trauma of the pain ..his crying..the look in his eyes ill never forget of his fear and what I perceived to be sadness and his own shock. a traumatic death I couldnt help. when your last memories are those of pain and not joy..and being unable to help...not only is your beloved pet suddenly gone..the WAY they go is often unbearable. and the guilt..i cant properly grieve or think of the good times if i have guilt. a lifelong best friend and joy of my life. why do they have to go so suddenly and in such discomfort oftentimes. a cat can seem ok one day and gone the next.many are going through that added layer....so i torture myself with my wrong decisions..wrong supplements..not seeing signs i see now as i look back. i feel so stupid. my love is real and my human ignorance ruined his precious life. i cant forgive myself. he was my baby.
I had to deal with the same thoughts 14 years ago…I was feeling guilty but you didn’t do it because you wanted to …..I’m sure if you knew what was going on you would have done something …….getting closer to,God helped me a lot …wasn’t easy it took years to get back to feel normal again….but we all grief in a different way…..Last year I lost my Teddy and I was in so much pain but this year My beloved Diego developed a cancer that I didn’t catch on time and even thou I tried everything in my mind Imwas not able to keep him on earth with us…I am so sad and devastated but I’m trying to walk one day at a time …trying to find answers when my dog was always healthy and very active and he got sick when my life was a roller coaster so as you can see made it worst to me…..I’m trying to get out of this depression but then I read your words and makes me feel I’m not the only one …..be strong and have faith that we are all going to the same place after we die…..so you are going to see your partner again….
I lost my little Abby last wk . 5 yrs old wish she could of had longer life. Had uti 4 months ago and kept reaccurring. She didnt act her normal self one day so I took her to vet and she died of heartattack during testing. I miss my little baby so much it's hard to go forward. Need to have faith we will be reunited in the afterlife so we can love them for eternity
for me its to deal with the trauma of him collapsing in our home and seeing him panting without breathing well in the car and feeling guilty for not taking him to the hospital. I still feel like I am to blame because I never told my dad who was driving to take him to the hospital instead. We thought our cooling methods would work like the past and sadly he gave up on Tuesday 3/30 and were all distraught. He was a 3 year old English Bulldog and was turning 4 in May. He was with us since he was 8 weeks old and we never imagined him being gone so young. Its truly so hard not to feel like he's mad at me for seeing him struggle to breathe and not taking him to the hospital. He was our first family pet and we nurtured and babied him so much. We rescued a girl in 2019 from a negligent family and we have her now but the home is so empty and were missing his smelly self. I hope I can feel better because it feels like I will never forgive myself. edit: I also agree that I still feel so guilty because what if he could have been here if I gave my dad the idea to go to the vet hospital. It suck's remembering his huge body and knowing he was never truly sick or had a sickness that took him from us.
I just lost my dog a few days ago and I've been struggling to process it and manage the grief. He was more than just my best friend, it was like I was him and he was me. He fit so perfectly into my life that it was as if he had always been there. He was my comfort when I was sad or anxious or depressed. It was him and me, always. Anywhere I went, he went and we were never apart. He made my life better in every possible way. He was from a shelter and he was already a middle aged dog when he came into my life. We had many wonderful years together and I knew it wasn't going to last forever and I was going to have to say goodbye someday but I wasn't ready and I suppose we never really are. Now I'm in my house without him and the place feels so empty and quiet, not that he was ever noisy, but I don't know how else to explain it. Everywhere I look it reminds me of him because he was a part of everything I did. The grief seems to come in waves. One minute I'll be fine and the next it's all I can do to keep it together long enough to make it out of the room. Then sometimes it's like I'll see him in the corner of my eye and I have to do a double take. Sleep has been hard because I'll start to drift off and then I'll startle awake swearing that I heard the jingle of his collar or the sound of his toenails tapping on the floor. The hardest has been coming home from work. I had the same routine every day for years, I would walk in the door and then go into the living room to wake him up, ask him if he was a good boy while I was gone. Now for the first time I'm coming home to an empty house and I dread it. Seeing his things was too much so I had to put them away. I feel like something that made me a complete person is gone, like a piece of my soul was just suddenly ripped out. I'm not a religious person but a family friend whose son died a few years ago told me she prayed to her son, told him there would be a friend coming up there and he needed to look out for him and it just broke my heart. I don't know if I'll ever really heal from this or if I even want to but I'm taking it one breath at a time, one day at a time.
I hope you’ve found peace. I lost my son, my soul mate, my best friend today. It was so sudden. Like you everything reminds me of him- and it comes in waves. Intense balling and gasping for air. I’ve been through so much trauma and loss- but this has been the worst
I put my 11 year-old GSD to rest today due to the loss of his rear legs and bladder. He was my partner and like yours, my dog went absolutely everywhere with me. He was stubborn, strong willed and demanding. We had our disagreements for sure. We knew each other and deciding to take his life was a very difficult decision. But, he was sick and losing the battle and he would have hung around until his last breath if he could. He really didn't want to go. He will be my last.
I just lost my dog 3 days ago and I had him for almost 14 years. He was such an important part of my family. I was devastated because we found out he was sick and needed surgery on Monday and by Thursday he was gone. I’m working through my grief and that’s how I found this video. Thanks for this content. It was helpful. 💔 🐕 🙏🏽 🕊
It’s been a week since my Yorkiepoo passed away suddenly. Her name was Gabby and she was 12 years old. She had been with me when no one else was and we literally spent 24/7 together. My heart can’t seem to get over this. I too have looked up every video about whether pets will be in Heaven and I honestly believe she will be. But oh my how it hurts right now.
i bought some journals for pet loss grieving from amazon so i can write in them...had a blanket made with his photos.. a stone for his grave...a necklace with his hair in it...i even have a story to tell..that made me feel JOY but it happened once and i need it again so im back to deep grief (of course .its only been a week) but i felt a cat jump on my bed...at night..and i told my mom the next day and she said a cat was walking all over her in bed and woke her up..and she said "why me? I guess as proof for you" and i felt such joy..thats something he would do for me! he was taking care of me for 17 years. he held on and didnt want to go so the struggle was so hard to watch...but i believe he visited since my mom experienced it in same night (neither one of us have ever had such an experience in life!!) it was comforting.
what a smart boy as he always was..he knew id tell my mom..and she'd tell me..i wouldnt tell anyone else...he knew it. we even live in seperate homes...but i lived there with her for a year and a half prior to moving here..for a shorter time so that was his home too. his last home he was there longer... ...had him the whole 17 years...the 11 years in an apartment with my ex...and ive wondered if he visited there since that was his longest home..but i havent wanted to contact my ex to find out...but i should tell him since he loved him too all that time. but it isnt a case where his love was really as pure or true as mine (he kicked me out and cited the cats were the reason as he was allergic ( a lie) its that he knew they were the one thing i wouldnt part with for any reason..so if he said me or the cats i chose cats and left without hesitation. and he wasnt allergic after 10+ years with them...he used this excuse/lie for legal reasons...so anyway ive felt torn in telling him as he doesnt deserve it. yet im only wondering if he paid a visit. probably not,like i said he was SMART and he knew i always put him first.
Good message thank you for it. Just lost my Owen. He would have been 22 on March 19. I’ve never spent so much life with another life. It hurts so much.
a month late but my dog passed yesterday i looked up pet grief tips, and this popped up and it’s extremely helpful and made me feel better. Thank u for that
Hey Brianna, sorry i never saw your comment earlier. Thank you so much for writing this. I hope you are doing well today, I'm really grateful that this video helped you when you needed it! ❤️
Thank you for you prayers. I lost my dearest pet dog. Jojo a week ago and the grieving is so strong and real. I don't have anyone I can talk to about what I'm going through. I do believe God has a plan and I seek him always for peace and comfort. Thanks.
This video helped me a lot. I Lost my Baby Buddy last Sunday and I been a mess. I began to feel embarrassed of how much pain I feel. My reaction when my big baby boy was passing away due to accidental poisoning made me scream out to God to help me and to my fiancé. I kept asking my puppy as I washed his mouth and head with water to please don’t leave me I need you I love you please. Thank goodness I live in a Ranch because I completely lost it 😞 I blame myself even though I had no idea the poison was stored in that room. My puppy was the 1st pet I let myself Love completely. I feel cheated. I thought I would have him till we where both old. Thank you for that prayer. I do pray daily and ask God to forgive me for not being better and careful as I was with my children and to please help me with this awful pain I’m carrying. I also ask God to please give me the opportunity to see my dog again once I’m gone. I asked my Loved once whom have already passed away to take care of my beautiful Buddy until we meet again. This pain is relentless and it comes in waves. Thank you once again.
Thank you Clorissa. Our 20 yr. old cat passed away this week from chronic kidney disease, and I am still grieving more than I thought I would. She was my best friend as we were always together everyday 24/7 as I am retired. I am a Christian and all of the reminders you speak of about God loving and being there during our grief because he loves us really helped me. How could I forget? Thank you for the prayers. You are very special and may God Bless you and your family. You are helping so many of us pet parents.
I just had to let my dog of almost 12 years go 2 nights ago. I feel so lost without him. He was with me through lots of ups and downs in life. I’ve never lost anyone close. I’ve also never cried so much in my life. My family is worried that I may become depressed. Watching your video has helped me but I know this is just the beginning. I’ve been having to take PTO for work because I can’t focus on anything, I have zero motivation and feel so empty inside. I know I did everything in my power to make my dog happy, but I still feel like I let him down. I don’t know what to do at this point. I hope that anyone who goes through this can heal quickly. I would do anything to pet, kiss and hold my best friend again
Hello, thank you for this video. Animals are God’s creatures too, so I don’t see anything wrong with us crying for them, animals are more loyal to us and to God than most people, our cats, dogs, bids, all non-human companions are angels. There are saints who are protectors of animals for a reason. I lost my beloved kitty Simba on 11-27-2023 at 16 years old. He passed naturally. I am still torn apart and grieving everyday. He had the same condition as your baby. I didn’t care about the amount of money I spent, cleaning the puke, because I promised my cats to take care of them until the end. My other kitty passed in 2019 at 15 years. I miss both of my babies so much. I cry everyday, I remember him, I love him so much.
Thank you for providing this video. I love you Americans people for the reason that you love animals so much. I hate people in my country saying hey, it's just a dog, not a human because in my heart, my Huan Huan my baby pup is at the center of my heart.
Thank you for making this video. My 13 year old pitty had to be rushed to the emergency vet on Saturday. He had a tumor in his lungs and it had burst and blood was pooling in his lungs. He could of had surgery but it would have only given him 2-3 months extra so I made the decision to help him cross the rainbow bridge. The pain and just feeling of a huge part of my life is missing is so overwhelming. Taking it day by day is the plan right now.
I just lost my frog yesterday and I know it’s just a frog but she helped me cope with my anxiety and panic attacks and when my mental health was the worst she was always just kinda sitting there and when I was having a horrible panic attack she jumped on my hand and it calmed me down and she was my little princess her name was Tiana and she was my baby I’m doing horrible with this and I can’t handle it it’s so weird seeing her cage gone and her gone I used to hear her at night and I thought it was so funny and it was comforting to know my baby was around and I feel like I’m going crazy I checked her cage and i sprayed it and I kept checking on her I just want to believe she’s just under her moss but I know we’re she is it’s so scary to look at her dead lifeless dry body i don’t want to believe it’s her she was so sassy and had a big personality so it’s crushing me thankfully my family has a friend that uses reptiles for his mental health and he is going to give me one of his lizards that is harder to kill and mess up with and I am great full for this because it will hopefully be comforting having another baby it’ll help me cope with Tiana being gone and I know a lot of joy and comfort will come with it especially because she was always around
I just lost my little boy yesterday...the worse thing is I am responsible... I left out some trail mix and he got to it. So on top of the guilt of putting him down after getting extremely sick...I have to deal with the worst grief of feeling responsible...I need help with this pain.
My Mickey died last month😭 try to find closure. Keep in mind that he is happy and playing in a different world. Without pain and disease. He was 17 years old, still talk to him, comfort him!
My dog was hit by a car. He was only 2½ & was my ESA for anxiety. My sons are grown up. Joey was my baby. I wailed & screamed and I keep crying as though I lost a child. My heart is broken.
My beautiful boy has been hit by a tractor and died 2 days ago.He's never run from before and he has 3 years old and so full of life. Why did he chase it? I didn't hear it coming either. Such a loss of a beautiful boy who was with us 24/7 he was our fur baby too. I'm devastated x
@browneyedgirl1542 hi hang in there as your mind is computing what has happened. A year on and it's not as intense. I still have days of crying and miss him so much but try to keep reminding myself it hurts so much because I love him so much. Keep talking and give yourself mind and body time to adjust. I found a few sites helped me, honouring our animals on insta I really like. Big hugs
I lost my baby boy.. he was only 2.5.. so active healthy full of life.. my angel.. something bit him.. I still don’t know what.. how.. I have never seen anything around my house.. he is always in the house.. just randomly goes out for potty or a run.. he loved it too.. I regret not going out with him every time he went out.. I took him to so many vets .. they couldn’t find out what bit him.. so angry too .. I want him back so badly
So my wife came home with a dog close to 3 years ago. At first it was like baby we have a dog we really don't need another one. Then she told me that he was being abused so natural I changed my views on another dog. S o a year after we got Scrappy-Doo he got pneumonia and we took him to the vet and got him healed. Then in November of 2021 he started retaining fluid in his belly and we took him back and the vet helped us get him better. That same month my Dad was killed on Thanksgiving Day in a car accident. It was hard to take to not have him here anymore. Scrappy-doo would just put his paws around my neck and kiss my tears away and be like I got you daddy I am here for you. Everything was going better I was sad but having Scrappy-Doo around he could make me laugh. Well skip ahead to late February of this year and my world dropped again. Scrappy-doo starting losing weight wouldn't eat and would just puke up all the time. And understand just the week before he was running barking eating and playing. So we took him to the Vet and Thursday the 24th he was admitted to the hospital because his kidneys had failed him. It came on so sudden no real notice and so the did blood work and it wasn't good but we had hope. Friday his levels had changed to the good and he was playful but still wouldn't eat. Sunday came and the vet called and said he was in a good mood waging his tail and happy to se her. Then Monday the 28th of February 2022 was my next heartbreak. his levels had gone up above what they were when we brought him in and the Vet told us that his kidneys were just to far gone. I don't understand why take away our happiness? so as of me writing this he is sleeping on our bed next to my wife and our other dog. In less then 6 hours i will have lost my buddy that was there for me. I know it is the right thing to do so he doesn't suffer but why take away the one thing that was helping me heal I don't understand. But thank you for your video it was helpful.
How do I message you directly my husband and I loss of our boy cat Ace june 3rd vet hospital emergency. He was my baby boy I was his momma and my husband was his father. It's been hard for me and my husband. He was like our son literally. Still emotional painful. He would of been 2 July 23rd.
I lost my little Bindi yesterday…she was 13 years old look impossible to live with out my sweet angel around me ,the house sounds so empty .She confort me all this years we travel all over the world and now just to see her empty bad broke my heart I can’t stop crying.She was always there for me and now is just sadness.I don’t know what happens after die and think the she is alone pass to this transaction with out me I worry she can feel scared.But Lessing to you help me to realize she can’t be alone she is such sweet soul so probably she is surrounded of love now …Thanks to shearing
My girlfriend and I have to put one of our hens that randomly got sick this week out of her misery tomorrow. An old farmer neighbor of ours said he will do it for us because he's been doing it for a long time. Great guy. Going to be very tough walking her over there and walking home alone. Pets are family members too. Sorry for the loss of your dog 😞.
Thank you ! I said goodbye to my best girl last night, the pain is real and unbearable, but I agree that if God loves me, He loves my dog. If He sent her to be with me because He loves me, then it makes sense He would call her home... I have the hope of Jesus that I too will be called home and I will be with all my pets again in paradise, the way He wanted it to be in the beginning. God bless you !
my cat i held everyday in my arms like a baby for 17 years passed a week ago and im floored gutted and destroyed and i dont feel the same at all. my life isnt recognizable now. Fireball I love you so so much.
@@embracedchimera5886 Same that's exactly it. Time feels still. Like in a bad dream. It's all been such a blur I cant remember things barely sleep..or eat. I even took off work.
@@suzytheminpin9012 its really true what is said on the stages of grief..denial..guilt..anger! And more..forgetfulness yes me too. To eat? Like forcing tasteless rocks down.i felt like my soul was ripped out through my feet and i cant make any sense out of this loss.
@@embracedchimera5886 the stages are definitely real. Except in no order each day is a different one. I dont know what to do with myself. I feel so lost and a sense of looking for something that I'm never gonna find
My little baby boy was taken from me by a terrible accident last night. Perfect little black cat baby boy. If my love could have been enough to protect him, he would have lived forever. I am devastated. Thank you so much for this video. It made me feel less alone.
I touched my pet cat for one last time, feeling all the too familiar feelings of his fur and body as though he will be coming around anytime, 'Mommy, I am back. I am ok". I am devastated.
Thak you for this video, this helps get through the night. I just put my sweet Pepper (also a havanese) to sleep tonight. He was my best friend and will always be in my heart. I understand the grief and it's extremely heart breaking. I agree that the grief from losing a beloved dog is far more difficult than losing a human family and I think it's because animals are pure of spirit, they're angels amongst us. I spent every penny I had to try to save him but I see how much pain he was in and it would be selfish of me to keep him while his suffering. I think it's also the guilt of taking their life and the guilt of thinking that you could have done something to help not to get to that state where you have to let them go.
Thank you for this video. My dog, Willa, died during spay surgery 6 days ago and the heartache has been terrible. I cry so much my head hurts. Your video brought me the most comfort out of all the grief videos, and grief scriptures I've searched on youtube today. It's not getting easier yet, but with time it will. I'm taking it so hard because she was only 18 months old and pure joy in my life. Thank you for the prayers.
@@alyciaholloway2151 Yes, there are many videos on RUclips attesting to this and the majority of people who have had afterlife experiences saw their pets in Heaven, as well as Jesus
My dog died today, he lived for 16 and a half years and I’ve had him since I was 5 years old. I had a very abusive childhood and amongst all the chaos and pain, he was the only stable being I’ve ever had in my life, I feel like I have lost a brother, I’m not sure how I’ll recover from this. The worst thing is that he was old and weak but he was overly the same for a year and we thought he had a least maybe a year left, but then out of nowhere he got worse and then died the day after (today). I wasn’t there when he died, I always thought I would have at least that, but he was in a coma state and I couldn’t stay with him, I wish I could have told him that everything was okay
I lost my kittie Nikki last week,its been the most devastating experience.In the four years i had her she had never been sick etc,we lost her to an accident,it was traumatic.Rushed her to the vet,tried to stabilize her.....pain meds given... My hubby and i had to make the devastating decision to euthanise her cause she had no way of surviving😭😭these few days after her passing has been marked by nothing but grieve.She left such a big hole.Everything in the house reminds me of her....its so empty now..
this is ALL I have done since he passed is watch these videos and read articles on pet loss grief. i cant listen to a song or watch a movie (no way) i cant taste food or even want to eat...i can only focus on honoring him /connecting to him somehow.and crying. i want an orange cat stuffed animal and then im like no thatll destroy me...be too hard...it makes you feel like a little kid inside. i am 47 next month. im in a childlike state .....i think of who i was when he entered my life..at age 30...he changed it. totally. made it beautiful. i felt thrust back to age 30 then thrust back to age 6 (just young /any age) i have to honor him as a grown woman too. he taught me so much. i was his MOM. my favorite role of my life.
I lost my 5 year old English Bulldog last week. It was an awful experience, since my 12yr old daughter was the one who found him. She was home alone. It’s very traumatic for her, trying to do CPR and save him while on FaceTime with her. Our BO represented more than just a dog. My daughter and I were able to leave a psychological, narcissistic, verbally abusive piece of crap 3 years ago. During our relationship, ex wanted to by an EB from a very reputable breeder-I was opposed bc our lives were so busy and we didn’t really have time to devote to a dog. I learned the ex only saw him as $$. So, to condense this story, my daughter got us back into church (she and I). We were able to leave the ex, but he kept the dog. It absolutely killed me and my then 8 year old. I eventually got him back bc he didn’t really want the responsibility. Yay! So he was breaking out of “our jail,” not too!! He was such a precious boy. He would wake me up if I had an asthma attack in my sleep, a strange sound he didn’t like, protective over us both. FULL personality. He was my boy. The day he died, I was at work 45 minutes away. I’m a nurse and we were short staffed. I called my pastor to go get my daughter, and a neighbor to cover up my dog. Once I made it home, his body was warm and soft-just like he was sleeping, at one point I thought I could see his chest rise/fall. He was 76lbs and I couldn’t lift him to hold him but I fell to my knees and cried and cried out to God for help bc I was so open and heartbroken MORE THAN I WAS FOR a family member. Guilt from that, plus my child’s own pain, trauma. Idk how long I was there apologizing to him and what a good boy he was and how much I love him. Then I got angry. I had so many emotions bursting out. Bo was outside under the back deck and I kept a shovel there from hurricane Sally. Girl I grabbed that shovel and screamed, sobbed, beat the crap out of the railing and my phone was in the way, I didn’t care. I never heard my nextdoor neighbor with his very loud truck pull up. I lost it, fell to my knees and sobbed. Then I felt these tender hands touch my shoulders, it was loud truck’s wife. She just held me and I sobbed mascara and dirt all over her. My Mom was on her way over to get my daughter. She said that they would dig a spot for him and God was right on time, as usual:). They are so sweet and precious sand just let me lean on them. I cannot bear to move his food & water bowls. His bed, his “babies” are all there. I just can’t. I can smell him, feel him, remember the times I felt guilty for getting upset bc he had to be picked up to get on my high bed. He was afraid of the steps and anything out of place. Your video was the first one I came to. God knows. Thank you for including our faith in this. I am very sad for your sweet angel pup. Thank you for talking with me. I apologize for this being so long everyone! Prayers to you darling. Prayers for us all. God bless. ♥️🐶
My cat passed away in her 19th birthday month. She was happy & healthy all her life. In a few short weeks, she started slowing down and one morning after waking up I found she was gone. She went away to the other room at night so I don't have to see her go. I was shocked, because she didn't have any problems except arthritis. I expected her to live several more years. I miss her so much. Days seem too dark without her. She was my best friend. Still can't believe it.
Thank you for this. I miss my girl so much. It's been 72 hours. Hurts!!!! I am a Christian and believer, and I just love your voice for Him. I know I need Him right now, and I pray and believe that others have found Him through you.
I know exactly how you feel, my dear. My 14-year-old chihuahua has to put her down on May 2nd 2024 she has abdominal mass. I miss her so much that I can't stop crying. Some people don't understand they say she's just a pet. No, she was my baby girl. I don't know what I'm going to do without her. My heart is broken 💔 😢
Awesome Video! I had to put my BELOVED 16 year old Furbaby to rest on August 18 2022.. I was blessed to have had him since he was 2 weeks old. I was able to put him to rest in our home in his bedroom it was the HARDEST Decision I have ever had to make, but I had to pray and ask God and he showed me it was time to let my Furbaby go. I am totally HEARTBROKEN, but my comfort comes from having his urn and looking at his pictures and videos. I do believe all souls human or animals do go to heaven. God created all living Creatures, Genesis 1:24-25. May God continue to Bless and comfort you and your Mom🙏❤
Thank you for this video. I lost my Dog Obi, my baby this week. You said the pain all at once , thats exactly how I am feleing, pain compounded beyound belief. BUt the blessing I can testify to is my Dog brought me closer to God, for that I feeel his purpose on earth is complete.
I am experiencing such deep grief with the passing of my sweet baby girl. I was not prepared for this. It is absolutely different from grieving a person passing. I can barely function from the guilt and regret. She was absolutely everything to me. I love her so much and don’t know how to navigate this life without her.
I want my baby boy back so badly.. it is so unfair .. he was only 2.5..so healthy active.. I am mad at the world and everyone.. he got bitten by something.. I took him to so many vets to save him.. they didn’t diagnose it correctly and kept it for 5 days telling me the antibiotics have to work and it’s 5 day course.. I went with him to the hospital daily for injections for 5 days and then they are telling me his kidney has failed now.. I took him to another vet.. they told me we will try these medicines if it does not work will do dialysis.. we listened and went home .. before we could book dialysis my baby passed away with seizures.. I hate my self for waiting 5 days listening to the vet.. so incapable the vets are.. if they don’t know why are they experimenting.. it’s a precious life.. all my dreams life were planned around him..I hate it I didn’t go with him out when he went to do potty.. I should have started dialysis already…I am so mad.. my child he was .. my baby ..gone.. I hadn’t even finished loving him .. wanted to buy him so many more toys.. take him to places… I want him back
I hate it when people say to themselves that humans are suffering too and they know it’s a pet so they’re not supposed to cry for more than a day. Or feel like they have to apologise for crying ugly over a pet. And then turn around and tell me “you know how that feels like? You know to apologise” no I don’t. I don’t relate to you. I don’t feel a single need to apologise for crying about my pet. I don’t tell myself that they are people suffering. As much as it’s painful for them no way it diminishes my pain. My pet loved me unconditionally and not the next human being suffering. As much as I empathise I don’t think one pain is bigger than the other. So next time someone says “you know that feeling where you feel like you should not be crying for more than a day over a pet but you can’t help but cry” I will slap you right out of that guilt and tell you I don’t relate to you at all I feel zero guilt in mourning and crying for days over my pet who I bonded with.
I just lost my fur baby Oreo 😢 it was unexpected, one day she was here and the next she collapsed and passed in my arms. I’m so heartbroken 💔 she was the sweetest , smartest cat ever. This hurts so bad 😔 my little baby is gone
My cat passed away very unexpectedly today. He was so little, so young and had his entire life in front of him. My heart is broken. I don't know how much time I'll need to feel more at peace again, but I want to sincerely thank you for this video. I know it was posted over a year ago, but your words really assured me.
We will see our pets again..There are multiple scriptures in the KJV..Who did God create first. Who did God put on the Ark first. He values his creation and they have a soul..They know who their creator is. They are pure.
i had my baby for 1.5 years 💔💔💔. i left her with my boyfriend and when i came back home she was unresponsive and he was unapologetic, refusing to take any responsibility and distant - not even hugging me after i went to the vet alone and cried while holding my dead dog for 2 hours. she died the night of her second birthday. my heart is broken. i broke up with the boyfriend too. i feel guilty for leaving her alone with him when he’s so irresponsible.
It's been almost a week since we had to put our beloved cat Marley down who was 10. He was diagnosed with Diabetes and was a candidate for Bexacat. His body shut down from it and we had him at the vet hospital for a week and he couldn't recover. Saying goodbye to him broke me and a part of me died when I had to let him go. I will miss him everyday.
My cat who is almost 17’s health is rapidly declining. Apparently, based on her blood work, a lot of her organs are failing and she isn’t doing well. I love my kitty so much and I’ve had her ever since I was born❤️ we are going to get her blood work done again tomorrow, and we are hoping for the best. If the tests are true, then she doesn’t have much time left and we are even considering putting her down tomorrow. Every time she walks she stumbles a little and the vet when we first met with her even said that she was fully blind because her pupil weren’t dilating when exposed to light and she was walking into things. A little later, she was able to see again. We don’t know if it was a seizure and we are still trying to find out what is happening to her. She is coughing up blood pretty frequently and they think it might be a tumor. Wish me and my family luck tomorrow so my baby can stay❤️❤️ edit: we had to put her to forever sleep today. I love and miss you so much my cutie❤️
I lost my dear dog Nora this monday,i dont think i can live on,this hurt to mutch,my best,dearest friend❤,,i feel so mutch for all people,who have lost their dearest pets😢❤
I once again want to thank you for helping through the grieving process of loosing my baby Hooch. You video helped me a lot . I will never forget my Hooch and I can’t wait to see him again. Thank you.
I’m struggling so much! I had to put my senior dog down yesterday , we also rescued my dog at the age of 12 and was with us for 4 years and I’m so sad. I miss him so much he was a great companion, I struggle to get through my days because I miss his presence, I want him back so bad 😢 My dog was partly blind and he had super bad teeth and a fractured jaw when we got him, we ended up getting his 5 teeth extracted when we got him, and then as of this past week he ate something that was too hard for his teeth and jaw, he was in such bad pain. He stopped eating 3 days ago and we took him to the vet and he was considered high risk. The vet said he was high risk and we had to make the call to put him down. I know he’s no longer in pain but that doesn’t ease the pain of him being gone. I miss him so much. 💔💔💔💔💔
I agree with you when you said about your dog being in the box after being cremated. I thought exactly the same, my vet rang me to say do you want to come and get her we thought you would like her to be with you, or shall we bring her to you and I could not have faced going down to pick her up, so they brought her to me and I could hardly take the box from my vet, it was so painful, it still is five weeks later. She’s here in the living room with me I can’t look at the box it’s too upsetting for me.
Over a month, and I'm still crying as hard as ever over the loss of my 14 year old Peekapoo Sugar. The grief monster does not go away however long. The emotional pain is almost unbearable at times. I know it will take a long time.
My sisters cat got ran over on Sunday and he died instantly. He was only 4. I had to see him to confirm it was him. I haven't slept since because I can just see him. Sometimes I said I hated him or that he was a stupid cat but he was the best cat I could ever ask for. From the moment he chose us we knew he was going to fit in well. I miss head rubs in the morning and his purring while u give him a fuss. I would do anything to have one more day with him. We also had to Bury him this morning. Whenever I hear the song "you'll be in my heart" from tarzan I cry because my sister qnd my cat danced to it q couple of days ago. Also the words in that song talk about protecting him and I feel like I have failed to do that because if I had protected him he would be alive and next to me right now and my sisters heart wouldn't be breaking right now. I don't know why I I told you all of this but I am so relieved to get this off my chest. I am currently lieing in bed crying and looking at his pile of things that are ready to go away somewhere. It's hard but ik we will get through it. ❤👍
I had to put my dog Spanky to sleep a couple of days ago. He had congestive heart failure and despite medication, special diet and visits to the Vet to have fluid removed the complications became too much. He passed with his head on my lap and me comforting and petting him. The Vet and Vet Tech got to see a 66 year old man sobbing with tears running down his cheeks. My other dog and I are struggling with his loss. Your comments about being at home during the pandemic and giving you more time with your dog resonated with me, it was the same for us the last year. Spanky was a great companion and I really miss him. The tears are still coming. Thank you for making this video, it helps a lot.
I lost my 15 year old spaniel last week, and I feel as though my sidekick has gone. He was my shadow and we went almost everywhere together, even in the house! All sorts of decisions were taken with him in mind……holidays, days out etc. and now that has stopped dead. When I come home from work it’s so hard…he’s not there on his bed looking up at me, wagging his tail and standing to greet me. Bringing his ashes home gave us a focus, rather than looking around the house wondering where he was, we direct our ‘chats’ with him to his urn and we’ve put it on our hearth where he used to lay his head. It’s still really hard and i still cry a lot for him. Sometimes the yearning to hold him again is so intense and my insides feel hollow but heavy at the same time. But we try to direct our thoughts to happier times with him and we can smile about him.
We just had to put my dog to sleep this week and it the worst thing I ever had to do she had cancer and was weak and bleeding from the rectum, She was my loyal, loving best friend she was who calmed me and I her I feel lost and am having panic attacks. I have been searching for help and find comfort in knowing that I am not alone with the grief I am experiencing. Thank you for sharing and so sorry for your loss.
I also cried at the vet because I never thought this could have happened to me so soon. She is only five years. My Guilt haunted my mind that I had not given her enough care and attention. It is the first vet clinic providing such bad medication and their negligence that killed my vet. I am going to file a charge case against but in China due to the legal system I am not expecting much.
i really hope that vets in other countries dont charge as much as the snake slimeball australian Vets. Absolutely fkin disgusted with the poor level of care and dollar over everything attitude. If youve ever lost your friend or had to put them down, its heartwrenching, but stay strong, remember the good times and pray that god our heavenly father is looking after their innocent little souls.
My heart is so broken. I had to put my dog down at 13. Now I am all alone now. I couldn't go to work today because I was crying too much. I will go in tomorrow.
I lost my girl a year and a half ago in 2020 too. I am better now but still have my bad days. Grief comes in waves even years later. So glad I found this. Thank you & I am so sorry for your loss.
Thank you for making and sharing this video. I had to let my Rowdy Boy go just a little over a month ago due to a heart issue that came with his age. I got him when he was 5 weeks old and he passed away at 12 years old. I'm still so devastated and I feel so empty inside not having him here because it's only been just me and him for the past 7 years. I hate that his condition got so bad that I had to have him put down but I'm glad I was able to have it done here at home where he was comfortable. But my days without him are just so miserable the routine I had with him has just changed completely. I miss our morning, afternoon and evening walks together. I can't even do it anymore without crying to be honest. I miss everything! Him laying on the bed next to me, or him crying and whining and jumping all over me as soon as I get home from work, him cuddling next to me all night as we slept. He was such a good son, friend, and a very loyal faithful companion. He will definitely be missed for many years. I'm so lost without him 😢💔
Hello Everyone. I have to say I am honestly SHOCKED at how this video has affected people and the amount of comments and views it has received. Thank you so much for sharing all of your stories in the comments! I posted this video back in January and my life has drastically changed since then - I have had people reach out to me on instagram to the point where I have not been able to message everyone back. Again I am shocked and honoured. I just wanted to share that I deeply apologize if I have not been able to get back to you and ask for your forgiveness and understanding. I pray you are doing okay and taking things day by day!
I know, I understand ...your video has helped me. Thankyou. I pray you and your mom are not hurting so much anymore. My girl Vanilla Kisses passed away in my arms a month ago, peacefully. 21 years of being my best friend and companion, my heart is so broken.
Thx u for this video. My little 5yr old kitty suddenly died of heartattack at vet recently. She was my world and em struggling for answers. God has a plan for all of us , even our fur babies. I do have faith that we will be together in the afterlife. What would heaven be like without the animals that we loved so much. We will be reunited with everything that makes us happy in life.
Thx u for ur prayers.
Hi need to message you directly
where did you go? Do you have a new channel? I need you in my life 😩
" Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened."
Im a 45 years experienced critical care nurse. Ive seen a lot of death, and experienced it personally with family members. None of it has prepared me for losing my boy. Having spent all that time caring for humans, give me an animal any day of the week. My dog taught me more about love than all those years with humans. For real. Take it from me. There are a lot of selfish, entitled, rude and thankless people out there. Humans are overrated in my opinion.
I feel like I wrote this, myself, word for word. And I am, too a Nurse. Unable to have human children, God saw a way to make me a Mommy. I was 45 when I adopted him. He was 7 weeks old & in need of a home. I stopped working & we we’re together 24/7. He went everywhere with me. A beautiful green eyed, short haired, cream color Chihuahua. I named him Bruiser. He gave so much unconditional love; a love I’ve never experienced before. He was my first dog, ever. He passed September 1, 2022 in my arms as I reached the front desk of the animal hospital. I went into shock. Not denial, just pure shock. My blood pressure DOUBLED & I was tacchycardic just sitting there, home alone. I was on my way out of this world but the husband rushed me in. The very next day, one week after my baby passed at 8 years old from an undetected “mass on the heart”, he put an 8 week old puppy in my arms. I would never ever have done that, especially one week after. I couldn’t grieve properly. I didn’t want to cry in front of the new puppy. Well, grief will find a way up & out. It’s so detrimental to one’s health, not to grieve properly; to stuff it down. I’ve lost so many friends & family prematurely & handled all of it with Grace. This is so very different. And having no support here in person is hard. It’s only been 3 months. My entire world changed in just one week. The new puppy is now 5 months old and so polar opposite of Bruiser. Very hyper, doesn’t cuddle or snuggle, is a chewer (hopefully only due to teething), doesn’t sleep. I’m trying my best with him. And what’s left of my shattered heart, hurts for him because he’s not getting the same Mommy Bruiser did. I truly do now know all of this happened for a reason; for our Soul’s growth & learning but that doesn’t make it any easier as I’m human with human emotions. 💔 I feel so broken. 💔
agree💗
I agree with you . I just put my mix pity down 48 hrs ago. And I have no family or friends and I have PTSD. And deep depression . Before I had my boy flash and humans I agree I live and born in San Francisco .and it was just him and me I'm Hurting so bad lost my mother brother and his passing is overwhelming..
Dogs rule. Humans are trash.
👍.. 🐾❤️🙏🏻 @Sasha Xnea
It has been harder for me than losing a human being.
I agree, don't know how i will get by without the unconditional love and dedication I got from my baby 🐩
Im in the same boat. The loss of my little Milo has been the worst grief and pain I’ve every felt. The grief, the hurt, the pain I’m feeling is overwhelming. I can’t sleep, I can’t eat. Grief is love that has no where to go 😢
Absolutely! I’ve always said exactly that, because we can’t communicate with our pets to really ask them about things. We have to try to make the right decision for them. I just had to do that 3 days ago with my beautiful 15 yr old cat. It is truly devastating.
Me too. I’m autistic and because I have always struggled with communicating with other people and have been rejected over and over as a result, my cats are my best friends.
My childhood cat just passed away this morning. She wasn’t in pain and was with me until the end. I miss her so much
I feel exactly the same way much more difficult
I let go of my best friend yesterday. My house is so cold, quiet and lonely. It helped just hearing you talk. Thank you.
How are you? I just lost my daughter yesterday and I’m so distraught. We just rescued her in August, she was only 1 😭 we found out she had a false pregnancy and the milk she was producing became infected and spread which caused her organs to fail within 6 hours..It happened so quick. I hope you’re doing well, please let me know. Much love 💜
@@coolcatable How horrible. I'm sorry for your broken heart. I didn't see your response until now. I lost my boy in a painful, mysterious way, too. Before seeing your note, I just had a Facebook memory come up from 5 years ago of me and my boy and it hurt my heart. I miss him so. How are you?
Me too
@@coolcatable I'm so so sorry🙏🏼 bless her
I know im late but im sorry for your loss. I just put my 15 year old dog down Friday, and I am so destroyed. He was my everything.
Loss of a pet can be as devastating as loss of a loved human person. Exactly the same processes are activated in our minds, the same hormones are secreted. I hate it when people say “it was only a pet, it’s not like you lost a family member”. Losing a pet for me is exactly like losing a family member. Equally painful and it takes so much time to heal.
One phrase I like is that grief is like love with nowhere to go.
I can definitely feel that it’s true. Thanks for this video!
Yes im with you on that!
Absolutely. Not many can say they know us as well as our pets do. There’s a level of intimacy because they’re such an integral part of our everyday lives…not to be taken lightly.
You are exactly correct. This experience is just heart wrenching. Every inch of space in my house, in my yard reminds me of the loss. Thank you for your comment! Some how makes me feel better. My heart goes out to all who are going through this.
I love this thought that grief is like love with nowhere to go. Thanks.
My female cat mythili died two days back, iam in depression, I love her soo much, please come back mythili, one year female cat
“It’s like losing a child”. Yes it is. Because they are totally dependent on us. And we love it. 🥰
I have never had children, but I do believe that losing a pet must feel like losing a child. I’ve seen posts from mothers on sites like these, and some of them get angry and insist that we can’t possibly feel as much grief over losing our pet as they feel over the loss of their child. They insist that it is NOT in any way the same. I really wish they would keep quiet, because they are invalidating our grief, and they have no way of knowing what we’re feeling. I do know that losing my cat has made me cry and grieve more than I have for any human, and I admit that I don’t understand it and it does bother me, but it’s the truth. To me my cat was my baby.
It’s so many relationships in one beautiful boy, Scout. 07.15.14-04.25.24
Really good video. I lost my dog 2 days ago. Found her at 5am while getting up for work. See I have seriously bad grief, I keep it to myself, cry alone. I'm a builder and nobody I know owns a dog. Plus crying around the guys is not the done thing. What I have is extreme guilt. It's actually overwhelming. She was being sick day before but she's done that before, Sunday morning she had some food, was drinking water. Then on the evening it escalated. I rang an emergency vet, did a video call they told me she'll be fine. She wasn't fine. Now I have guilt and grief. Even now at work (currently building a garden wall) I have to surpress the urge to cry. I actually feel a pain in my heart. I've even been working later because I just do not want to go home to an empty house without her. I actually lost my temper with a 'friend' who gave me the 'oh well its only a dog, you can get another'. Its like losing a family member. It's terrible. If anyones reading this and you've lost your pet, I really feel for you. I'm going to save this video to my faves and update in a months time, of how I'm dealing with losing her. Maybe it'll help someone.
I am really sorry to hear what you are going through. I lost my cat a week ago. She was everything I had. It really is hard.
Hey just wanted to know if you got better now
How are you doing
Thank you for your comment...same here...
Your story bought a tear. I hope your receiving signs from her. This intensity of grieving is overwhelming still after 4 months. Would love to hear your update & how your going.
I was looking for comfort when I came upon this video because my pet died 3 weeks ago. It still hurts a lot. There are times when I would miss him so much and the pain is so unbearable I could not breathe. Watching this video gave me comfort. Thank you so much for people like you who understands the pain we go through. I don't know when the pain will stop, but I know there's a reason why this happened and I find comfort in that. My pet's name is Max, I'll miss him for the rest of my life.
God bless you Christine, give yourself time and grace ❤️ thank you for watching and for your comment
I lost my son today. I have had so many of those I can’t breathe moments. I e lost people and gone thru lots of trauma but this is by far the worst
I lost my best friend family member of 8 years this past Sunday, he had cancer. I cannot stop the tears, all the good memories hurt so bad. I do not care what people say behind my back. My 4 legged child was my world. It hurts like hell.
My beautiful soul mate transitioned 5 days, I knew the day would come but when it comes !! I’ve never felt pain like this, 7 years of unconditional pure love ,it’s worse than a human leaving as it’s pure love we have with our fur babies so unconditionally xx
Thank you for this Video!! I lost my girl Roxi Today..SHE WAS THE BEST DOG!!!! I MISS HER LIKE CRAZY ... NOTHING FEELS THE SAME NOW !!!💔💔💔💔😢😢😢😢😢😢🙏🙏🙏🙏💜💙💜💙😢😢😢😢😢
My cat suddenly passed away a few days ago, and it’s been a struggle. I needed this video and I’m glad that I was led to it. Thank you.
Thank you for this. Yesterday evening I had to put my pug Moses to sleep and it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. I feel sadness, emptiness and guilt. I feel like I did something bad. This morning it felt so strange not having to wake up to take him use the restroom or having him here by my side while I work. I don’t know how long I’ll take to get over him but I loved him with all my heart. He was my best friend and my son. I feel like my heart died. Your prayer made me cry but it made me feel ease. Thank you again.
Sorry i never saw your comment earlier, thank you so much for leaving this it's really encouraged me today that i posted this video for a reason. I hope you're doing better today and experience more peace each day as hard as it is. Moses sounds like he had a great life❤️God bless you and your heart man
I put my dog last night, it was one of the hardest things ive done. He took a big chunk of my heart feels empty, sad, and walking into the house and not seeing him there feels a real emptiness! Hope this pain heals fast. He was not just a pet, he was part of my family, the impact is profound. Hope who ever goes through this heal fast. Its a really hard pain i feel not having Colby in my life.
@@victornelson1373 I’m sorry to hear this, just know you aren’t alone. It’s been three months since Moses has been put to rest but not a single day goes by that he’s not on mind. His little urn sits in my living room, so I’m happy he’s home again.
Mr. One Two so sorry to hear this!! I can imagine what you are going through, so sorry it has to be this way.
Mr. One Two how old was moses?
I lost my little brother and a month later my other dog and I cried so much more for my dog than my brother. You cannot reason with grief.
The love of a dog goes unmatched. The companionship is incredible. The comfort they provide is therapeutic. My dogs are my anti-depressants. I just lost two dogs I had for 15 years a month apart, I have 3 Foster fails but not like the life bond I had with my seniors. I lost my therapy, I lost my comfort, I lost my anti-depressants at the time I would need them most. The heart ache is real, the knot in my stomach is still there. I feel empty since they have passed. One of my little fosters dogs feels my pain. She started sleeping on my heart omg it helps. These puppies are my family, they are my children I would fight the devil if it meant keeping them longer in my life. I am truly thankful, even as I am in this deep grief. To experience love this deep. Thank you for sharing this video.
I feel you. I lost my cat yesterday and I have no other pets. I feel so lonely and I miss him so much.
You are completely right, I lost my 14 years old furry friend, he was my every thing. You are right , he was my anti depression, my meditation, and I don’t know how can I live without him.
Feeling your pain.. I used to call my sweet 🐩 my security blanket.. the pain is real 💔 I am heartbroken
Thank you for making this video. I recently lost my 3 year old cat to a brain tumor. She had a clean bill of health for I had her checked up every 3 months and then everything went downhill from there. I came home from work one night and my cat was walking around in circles and falling over. I instantly rushed her to the emergency vet and they said it was an infection and sent us home with antibiotics. I was relieved, but in the back of my mind I knew it can’t be an infection. I came home next night from work and she was in the middle of my room looking like something scared the crap out of her. I took her back to the emergency vet again. They said the antibiotics haven’t had a chance to work and I’m being paranoid. I wish being paranoid was the case. I decided to get a second opinion from another urgent care vet. Within 15 minutes they told me she is completely blind and she most likely has a brain tumor that is very aggressive. I left her there at the vet so they could try and help her. Two hours later they called me and said she is going downhill fast and I should say my goodbyes. Needless to say I was crushed inside. I went to say my goodbyes and that was it. Sorry for the long story, but it’s been 3 months and I’m still struggling to get through each day. My 3 year old had a sister who is constantly looking for her and I’ve tried to tell her that her sister died, but pets don’t understand that. I did get 2 more kittens two weeks after she died thinking it would make her sister happy, but that didn’t work like I planned. Now my 18 year old just had to be put to sleep and now mourning two of my cats deaths in 3 months time. I’m just not sure what to do to feel better. I keep blaming myself for not doing something more to help my 3 year old cat, but I know it was out of my control. She was fine one week and dead the next. It happened so fast I can’t make sense of it. I hope her sister gets better over time and I hope I do too. I’ll end this for I could go on and on. God bless you for making this video and making me feel a little better. I guess god has a plan for us and we don’t always understand why things happen. God bless everyone who is feeling the pain of a lost pet and I hope it gets easier for you over time.
I am going through this now.. my baby was only 2.5.. he got bitten by something.. he is always in the house.. this happened when he went out to do potty..the first vet who I thought was the best in the area didn’t diagnose it properly.. he couldn’t find what bit him..keep telling me we have to wait 5 days for the antibiotics to work.. my baby was strong even then..after 5 days they are telling the infection is not stopping and we came to know his kidney failed.. my baby boy.. I took him to another vet..multispeciality..they said we will try this medication and if it does not work we will do dialysis.. we said ok and went home.. I kept thinking should I try another vet because my baby was not eating and puking…my angel he didn’t make it to the dialysis.. he died in front of me my baby having seizures and the thing that makes me the most mad is not one hospital at 5am morning was open in my place..my baby boy.. I keep
Regretting not going with him when he went to do potty and taking him to the first vet.. I want to revoke their license so bad
I feel your pain when you said that people really do not understand because for them they are just animals. I feel it to the core now that I just recently lost my soul dog at a very young age (11months old 😭) It’s been more than a month but I’m a mess , I cry so hard still everyday and I feel all alone and people around me expect for me to move on already. And it’s making it so hard for me to process through my grief . This dog, my baby Luca , he was my baby, a family, a friend, a soulmate , never just a dog, we had such a strong bond , among my 3 dogs he was the one I felt so connected with and losing him feels like my world just ended. I took 2 weeks off work, I couldn’t go back to doing things I normally do with Luca and I’m bawling my eyes out especially every waking moment. And I don’t know if it will ever end :( Your video just made me feel like my feelings are valid and that I should not focus on people who are diminishing my grief…
how are you now?
Thank you for sharing your story. I lost my soul dog, Artemis, at the age of 2 yrs 8 months on 12/31/22. I had a total of (4) dogs and he was my special baby. It was sudden and unexpected.
Just this morning I had my 15 year old miniature poodle put down for exactly the same reasons. He was old, blind, kidney failure, bladder stones, bone spurs in his spine, was throwing up most days. I knew it was the right thing to do but the tears just keep coming. I adopted mine when he was 8 and he had real bad teeth then. I was blessed to have my little Baxter for 7 more years before today when we said goodbye. My heart is broken.
lost my girl 2 weeks ago... i so feel all of your pain 😭💔❤
I found this video while looking for comfort because my dog died two days ago. I'm a Christian and it seems the Lord led me here. Thank you so much for your wisdom and kind words. I just subscribed. ~ Betty
I believe the Lord also led me to this video.💜
Let the Lord take tge pain away, find comfort in His love for you & all His creatures. He taketh their breath away, but will call his creatures back to play in the Kingdom upon His return or maybe our fur babies are there now & we will all play in the Garden.
God bless you.
Love a sister in Christ. Elaine💕🙏
I need to believe I will see my fur baby once again
I was so in sink with my dog. He was like my other half and I can t imagine ever getting over his loss.
how are you doing now?
I lost a dog that basically felt like my child to me recently. I don't want to get over his death because that would feel like I'm abandoning him. I just really want and need him back.
I miss him always. More accepting of it all. You ll always think of him and he ll aways be with you. Xxx big hug
Exactly. My dogs are my life. I’ve lost 50% of my life.
❤ yes! Pets are soulmates - 😢 losing them is too hard.
Honestly thank you so much for this video. My puppy passed away last night and I’m super heartbroken I can’t stop crying. He was my second baby and the fact that I wanted to take his pain away but didn’t know how is what is making this process even more harder because I wanted him to get better and I wanted him to last a long time with us. The fact that you touched on faith and God made me cry even more because I started to think God was forgetting about me and not answering my prayers. For a reason I had to see your video. There’s so many videos and for some reason I clicked on yours and I’m so glad I did. I just hope God gives me the strength to deal with the emptiness im having inside of me.
I'm sorry for your pain. There are many of us like you who feel so much pain when we lose our babies. It's unbearable
14 years with my babygirl. lost her on 6.30.21. I miss her so much :(
I lost my sweet boy a month ago.. I'm absolutely DEVASTATED. This video helped. Thank you. A few thoughts: I spent an incredible amount of money (enough to buy a new car) for my dog's 15 month cancer treatment. I would absolutely do the same given the same choice. He was worth every dime, and I'm glad I placed his needs above my finances.. Never apologize for doing everything you can for your dog. Never apologize for feeling devastated and for your intense emotions and grieving. Your reaction shows you had a love-bond with your dog and have a good heart.. My grieving is intense and I can hardly work. If people don't understand that, then that is THEIR issue, not mine. Please grieve and ignore the others. You have a sacred bond with your dog. Embrace that bond and honor it. Finally, please adopt elderly dogs!!!! I have. They need a loving home more than most. Bring those elderly dogs home, love them, and give them the best remaining life.. I'm sorry for everyone's loss here.
Yesterday I lost my beautiful beloving 17 years old beagle, love of my life! . I woked up today without purpose to live, I'm so lost, hurts like hell with every breath I take.
Thank you so much for your video, your voice, your story is calming my broken 💔 💔💔💔
We put our sweet girl down yesterday. The pain and heartache is indescribable. My thoughts go out to anyone who has to go through with this.
I lost my cat two days ago, he died in my arms. Now there is this endless void inside of me and I just don't seme to understand what has happened. My heart aches so much and I can still see him, hear him and feel him!
How are you doing now? I lost my boy 4 weeks ago and i feel exactly as you wrote now.
I lost my almost 14 year old cat almost 9 days ago and I've been a wreck ever since. I had it set up to go and get a kitten, but I'm not up to it right now it felt disrespectful so soon, so I'm going to wait a while she was my only pet and I loved her like my daughter i feel like giving up.
your cat chose to have you as it's buddy, he got his way and loves you for it.
Mate i feel your pain, my ginger cat saved my life three times, once after the failure of my marriage, second indirectly by making me take a day off one day and the last time the day he was fading away to nothing. Hed been my rock from day one when I rescued him and we were buds like a dog was to anyone. That very last day despite him being unable to move all but one leg, he dragged himself across the floor and looked out at the sunset with me. So despite all the horror and sadness he found a way to tell me that the sun will set again tomorrow and he will always be with me. My charlie bear was only 10 human years old and unfortunetly i was unable to financially save his life, with $5000 for blood transfusions, $1600/ night for afterhours care overnight and thousands on scans and tests Literally $1000 for a simple ultrasound and another $1000 for a simple blood test. I will never forget the pain of deciding to force him to give up his life. He was born with a supposed heart murmour and dumped by breeders into rescue care, but his heart was so bloody strong, despite the vallium and sedatives the vet gave his meow when that green needle went in will haunt my dreams forever. So in some ways i hope i was able to allow him an easy way out, but in some ways i believe i killed my best friend, something that i alone will have to carry till my end.
@@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi Charlie understands and loves you all the more for making the deep decision to end his suffering. I don't know why God creates all this deep love only to end in deep pain. All anyone here can really know is that they are not alone.
My female cat mythili died two days back, iam in depression, I love her soo much, please come back mythili, one year female cat
My two cats (same litter siblings) died a few montbs apart aged 14 almost 2 years ago. I had so many opportunities to get kittens since but i just couldn't bring myself to. I have no idea if i could have a pet again, even though I've always been a pet lover and get along with most pets, cats or others, that i meet. These two were just too precious, plus i find pet old age devastating. I do hope your pain got a little easier as time goes.
We buried our sweet beloved German Shepherd 3 Mondays ago. I just got done watering the Calla Lily we planted on top of him. I had to pause in comment about you rescuing a dog from Korea from the meat trade. It absolutely devastates my heart that there are still people out there that are willing to consume the flesh of these beloved angels. I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving this beautiful baby. I am so incredibly sorry for your loss
I lost my 7 years and 8 month old GSD on 2nd July at 10 PM. He had stopped eating and was lethargic so we took him to a vet that very day. The doctor thought it was either dehydration or something to do with the liver. The test results were not exceptionally alarming expect for a high RBC count. We had an ultrasound scheduled for the next day when the night before we observed bloating and assumed it must be because he hasn't eating anything in three days and has only been on IV. After 3 days of continuous vet visits, IV fluids, attempts to feed him with a syringe, thinking it was just dehydration and genuinely believing he would get better, my heart sank at the sight of that weird liquid being extracted out of his body. All his life I had done everything to make his life his better so he wouldn't have to suffer in any way possible. I hadn't even left him alone ever in life and he had company no matter what. We found he had some form of cancer but the tumour on his bladder had burst and his entire belly was filled with some kind of fluid. I could see he was in a lot of discomfort even after being on painkillers. But he was such a strong willed dog and full of life that even while going to the Emergency Ward he spent his last ride in the car standing up and trying his level best to look at the outside world. He loved car rides and I am thankful he was able to enjoy car rides for the last 3-4 days because the vet was 30 mins away from our place. Seeing him laying on the table, helpless and confused broke me. I knew I couldn't see him suffering so when the doctor asked I said Yes. I saw him Passing away and I can neither sleep nor eat and the thought of him being in pain haunts me. His death was so sudden and I had so many things planned for the coming winter, when the weather would be nicer for him. I had planned to spend the winter on a farm he liked. He was taken away too soon. My whole life revolved around him, taking care of him, anticipating his every need. Now I feel alone and empty without my best friend, my baby. His death has been the biggest shock of my life. I have never felt pain quite like this. He was and always will be the best part of my life. I will try to emulate and be like him. He taught him so much. He was such a hardworking dog that even when his tumour had burst causing his bladder to rupture, he barked twice when he heard someone knock on the door. He was on duty, on guard until the moment he died. I miss him so much.
My puppy passed away June 1th, one month earlier. She was five years old. She was and will always be the biggest part of my life. Her death just devestated my heart and my daily life as well. I never thought she could have been taken away so soon in such a painful way.
@@huanhuansowner8214 I am so sorry for your loss. 5 years is young. I felt cheated when he died. Like he was unfairly taken away from me. I was out with my friend drinking last night and ended up crying at the cafe. Even though it's been more than three since he left, I have cried every week. Some days are better than others but he is always there on my mind. The only difference, in the initial days it was too difficult to see other dogs but now I go out of my way to pet random dogs. So last night, when I came out of the cafe I saw a street dog and I wanted to just keep petting him so I scratched his ears and gave some love that I can't give my dog anymore.
I'm so truly sorry for your loss. I understand your pain. A few weeks ago I lost mine to an aggressive cancer. I aml so heartbroken.
Thank you for the care in which you made this gift to those of us that have and continue to struggle with the grief that comes from losing a dear "friend" You are a gifted young woman and I appreciate your time and effort to deliver this message You have helped me so very much to accept this pain and try to move on from it I am and will continue to hurt but listening to your gift of words is freeing I will follow your lovely words of wisdom God Bless you ❤
Your story is very touching. We just lost our rescue “Ruby” to cancer. I hope you’re doing ok these days. ❤
its not just the loss as in he isnt here right "now" its the trauma of the pain ..his crying..the look in his eyes ill never forget of his fear and what I perceived to be sadness and his own shock. a traumatic death I couldnt help. when your last memories are those of pain and not joy..and being unable to help...not only is your beloved pet suddenly gone..the WAY they go is often unbearable. and the guilt..i cant properly grieve or think of the good times if i have guilt. a lifelong best friend and joy of my life. why do they have to go so suddenly and in such discomfort oftentimes. a cat can seem ok one day and gone the next.many are going through that added layer....so i torture myself with my wrong decisions..wrong supplements..not seeing signs i see now as i look back. i feel so stupid. my love is real and my human ignorance ruined his precious life. i cant forgive myself. he was my baby.
I had to deal with the same thoughts 14 years ago…I was feeling guilty but you didn’t do it because you wanted to …..I’m sure if you knew what was going on you would have done something …….getting closer to,God helped me a lot …wasn’t easy it took years to get back to feel normal again….but we all grief in a different way…..Last year I lost my Teddy and I was in so much pain but this year My beloved Diego developed a cancer that I didn’t catch on time and even thou I tried everything in my mind Imwas not able to keep him on earth with us…I am so sad and devastated but I’m trying to walk one day at a time …trying to find answers when my dog was always healthy and very active and he got sick when my life was a roller coaster so as you can see made it worst to me…..I’m trying to get out of this depression but then I read your words and makes me feel I’m not the only one …..be strong and have faith that we are all going to the same place after we die…..so you are going to see your partner again….
I lost my little Abby last wk . 5 yrs old wish she could of had longer life. Had uti 4 months ago and kept reaccurring. She didnt act her normal self one day so I took her to vet and she died of heartattack during testing. I miss my little baby so much it's hard to go forward. Need to have faith we will be reunited in the afterlife so we can love them for eternity
for me its to deal with the trauma of him collapsing in our home and seeing him panting without breathing well in the car and feeling guilty for not taking him to the hospital. I still feel like I am to blame because I never told my dad who was driving to take him to the hospital instead. We thought our cooling methods would work like the past and sadly he gave up on Tuesday 3/30 and were all distraught. He was a 3 year old English Bulldog and was turning 4 in May. He was with us since he was 8 weeks old and we never imagined him being gone so young. Its truly so hard not to feel like he's mad at me for seeing him struggle to breathe and not taking him to the hospital. He was our first family pet and we nurtured and babied him so much. We rescued a girl in 2019 from a negligent family and we have her now but the home is so empty and were missing his smelly self. I hope I can feel better because it feels like I will never forgive myself.
edit: I also agree that I still feel so guilty because what if he could have been here if I gave my dad the idea to go to the vet hospital. It suck's remembering his huge body and knowing he was never truly sick or had a sickness that took him from us.
I just lost my dog a few days ago and I've been struggling to process it and manage the grief. He was more than just my best friend, it was like I was him and he was me. He fit so perfectly into my life that it was as if he had always been there. He was my comfort when I was sad or anxious or depressed. It was him and me, always. Anywhere I went, he went and we were never apart. He made my life better in every possible way. He was from a shelter and he was already a middle aged dog when he came into my life. We had many wonderful years together and I knew it wasn't going to last forever and I was going to have to say goodbye someday but I wasn't ready and I suppose we never really are. Now I'm in my house without him and the place feels so empty and quiet, not that he was ever noisy, but I don't know how else to explain it.
Everywhere I look it reminds me of him because he was a part of everything I did. The grief seems to come in waves. One minute I'll be fine and the next it's all I can do to keep it together long enough to make it out of the room. Then sometimes it's like I'll see him in the corner of my eye and I have to do a double take. Sleep has been hard because I'll start to drift off and then I'll startle awake swearing that I heard the jingle of his collar or the sound of his toenails tapping on the floor. The hardest has been coming home from work. I had the same routine every day for years, I would walk in the door and then go into the living room to wake him up, ask him if he was a good boy while I was gone. Now for the first time I'm coming home to an empty house and I dread it. Seeing his things was too much so I had to put them away. I feel like something that made me a complete person is gone, like a piece of my soul was just suddenly ripped out. I'm not a religious person but a family friend whose son died a few years ago told me she prayed to her son, told him there would be a friend coming up there and he needed to look out for him and it just broke my heart.
I don't know if I'll ever really heal from this or if I even want to but I'm taking it one breath at a time, one day at a time.
I hope you’ve found peace. I lost my son, my soul mate, my best friend today. It was so sudden.
Like you everything reminds me of him- and it comes in waves. Intense balling and gasping for air.
I’ve been through so much trauma and loss- but this has been the worst
Everything you said is how I'm feeling, it's just horrible
I put my 11 year-old GSD to rest today due to the loss of his rear legs and bladder.
He was my partner and like yours, my dog went absolutely everywhere with me.
He was stubborn, strong willed and demanding. We had our disagreements for sure.
We knew each other and deciding to take his life was a very difficult decision.
But, he was sick and losing the battle and he would have hung around until his last breath if he could. He really didn't want to go.
He will be my last.
I just lost my dog 3 days ago and I had him for almost 14 years. He was such an important part of my family. I was devastated because we found out he was sick and needed surgery on Monday and by Thursday he was gone. I’m working through my grief and that’s how I found this video. Thanks for this content. It was helpful. 💔 🐕 🙏🏽 🕊
It’s been a week since my Yorkiepoo passed away suddenly. Her name was Gabby and she was 12 years old. She had been with me when no one else was and we literally spent 24/7 together. My heart can’t seem to get over this. I too have looked up every video about whether pets will be in Heaven and I honestly believe she will be. But oh my how it hurts right now.
My name is Gabby.. lost my baby Raz 🐩 today.. like you we were together 24/7..
@@christianservant1939 I’m so sorry for your loss. I know that words can’t describe the pain, but just know that you are in my prayers.
i bought some journals for pet loss grieving from amazon so i can write in them...had a blanket made with his photos.. a stone for his grave...a necklace with his hair in it...i even have a story to tell..that made me feel JOY but it happened once and i need it again so im back to deep grief (of course .its only been a week) but i felt a cat jump on my bed...at night..and i told my mom the next day and she said a cat was walking all over her in bed and woke her up..and she said "why me? I guess as proof for you" and i felt such joy..thats something he would do for me! he was taking care of me for 17 years. he held on and didnt want to go so the struggle was so hard to watch...but i believe he visited since my mom experienced it in same night (neither one of us have ever had such an experience in life!!) it was comforting.
what a smart boy as he always was..he knew id tell my mom..and she'd tell me..i wouldnt tell anyone else...he knew it. we even live in seperate homes...but i lived there with her for a year and a half prior to moving here..for a shorter time so that was his home too. his last home he was there longer... ...had him the whole 17 years...the 11 years in an apartment with my ex...and ive wondered if he visited there since that was his longest home..but i havent wanted to contact my ex to find out...but i should tell him since he loved him too all that time. but it isnt a case where his love was really as pure or true as mine (he kicked me out and cited the cats were the reason as he was allergic ( a lie) its that he knew they were the one thing i wouldnt part with for any reason..so if he said me or the cats i chose cats and left without hesitation. and he wasnt allergic after 10+ years with them...he used this excuse/lie for legal reasons...so anyway ive felt torn in telling him as he doesnt deserve it. yet im only wondering if he paid a visit. probably not,like i said he was SMART and he knew i always put him first.
Good message thank you for it. Just lost my Owen. He would have been 22 on March 19. I’ve never spent so much life with another life. It hurts so much.
a month late but my dog passed yesterday
i looked up pet grief tips, and this popped up and it’s extremely helpful and made me feel better. Thank u for that
Hey Brianna, sorry i never saw your comment earlier. Thank you so much for writing this. I hope you are doing well today, I'm really grateful that this video helped you when you needed it! ❤️
Thank you for you prayers. I lost my dearest pet dog. Jojo a week ago and the grieving is so strong and real. I don't have anyone I can talk to about what I'm going through. I do believe God has a plan and I seek him always for peace and comfort. Thanks.
This video helped me a lot. I Lost my Baby Buddy last Sunday and I been a mess. I began to feel embarrassed of how much pain I feel. My reaction when my big baby boy was passing away due to accidental poisoning made me scream out to God to help me and to my fiancé. I kept asking my puppy as I washed his mouth and head with water to please don’t leave me I need you I love you please. Thank goodness I live in a Ranch because I completely lost it 😞 I blame myself even though I had no idea the poison was stored in that room. My puppy was the 1st pet I let myself Love completely. I feel cheated. I thought I would have him till we where both old. Thank you for that prayer. I do pray daily and ask God to forgive me for not being better and careful as I was with my children and to please help me with this awful pain I’m carrying. I also ask God to please give me the opportunity to see my dog again once I’m gone. I asked my Loved once whom have already passed away to take care of my beautiful Buddy until we meet again. This pain is relentless and it comes in waves. Thank you once again.
Thank you Clorissa. Our 20 yr. old cat passed away this week from chronic kidney disease, and I am still grieving more than I thought I would. She was my best friend as we were always together everyday 24/7 as I am retired. I am a Christian and all of the reminders you speak of about God loving and being there during our grief because he loves us really helped me. How could I forget? Thank you for the prayers. You are very special and may God Bless you and your family. You are helping so many of us pet parents.
Thank you for this video
I just lost my dog. My heart seem broke into pieces. I miss him alot
I just had to let my dog of almost 12 years go 2 nights ago. I feel so lost without him. He was with me through lots of ups and downs in life. I’ve never lost anyone close. I’ve also never cried so much in my life. My family is worried that I may become depressed. Watching your video has helped me but I know this is just the beginning. I’ve been having to take PTO for work because I can’t focus on anything, I have zero motivation and feel so empty inside. I know I did everything in my power to make my dog happy, but I still feel like I let him down. I don’t know what to do at this point. I hope that anyone who goes through this can heal quickly. I would do anything to pet, kiss and hold my best friend again
Hello, thank you for this video. Animals are God’s creatures too, so I don’t see anything wrong with us crying for them, animals are more loyal to us and to God than most people, our cats, dogs, bids, all non-human companions are angels. There are saints who are protectors of animals for a reason. I lost my beloved kitty Simba on 11-27-2023 at 16 years old. He passed naturally. I am still torn apart and grieving everyday. He had the same condition as your baby. I didn’t care about the amount of money I spent, cleaning the puke, because I promised my cats to take care of them until the end. My other kitty passed in 2019 at 15 years. I miss both of my babies so much. I cry everyday, I remember him, I love him so much.
Thank you for providing this video. I love you Americans people for the reason that you love animals so much. I hate people in my country saying hey, it's just a dog, not a human because in my heart, my Huan Huan my baby pup is at the center of my heart.
Thank you for making this video. My 13 year old pitty had to be rushed to the emergency vet on Saturday. He had a tumor in his lungs and it had burst and blood was pooling in his lungs. He could of had surgery but it would have only given him 2-3 months extra so I made the decision to help him cross the rainbow bridge. The pain and just feeling of a huge part of my life is missing is so overwhelming. Taking it day by day is the plan right now.
i hope you are doing well today
I just lost my frog yesterday and I know it’s just a frog but she helped me cope with my anxiety and panic attacks and when my mental health was the worst she was always just kinda sitting there and when I was having a horrible panic attack she jumped on my hand and it calmed me down and she was my little princess her name was Tiana and she was my baby I’m doing horrible with this and I can’t handle it it’s so weird seeing her cage gone and her gone I used to hear her at night and I thought it was so funny and it was comforting to know my baby was around and I feel like I’m going crazy I checked her cage and i sprayed it and I kept checking on her I just want to believe she’s just under her moss but I know we’re she is it’s so scary to look at her dead lifeless dry body i don’t want to believe it’s her she was so sassy and had a big personality so it’s crushing me thankfully my family has a friend that uses reptiles for his mental health and he is going to give me one of his lizards that is harder to kill and mess up with and I am great full for this because it will hopefully be comforting having another baby it’ll help me cope with Tiana being gone and I know a lot of joy and comfort will come with it especially because she was always around
I just lost my little boy yesterday...the worse thing is I am responsible... I left out some trail mix and he got to it. So on top of the guilt of putting him down after getting extremely sick...I have to deal with the worst grief of feeling responsible...I need help with this pain.
My Mickey died last month😭 try to find closure. Keep in mind that he is happy and playing in a different world. Without pain and disease. He was 17 years old, still talk to him, comfort him!
I also talk to my cat Morena. She was my fur baby. She crossed over in my arms a month ago. I miss her! 😭😭💔💔
My dog was hit by a car. He was only 2½ & was my ESA for anxiety. My sons are grown up. Joey was my baby. I wailed & screamed and I keep crying as though I lost a child. My heart is broken.
My beautiful boy has been hit by a tractor and died 2 days ago.He's never run from before and he has 3 years old and so full of life. Why did he chase it? I didn't hear it coming either. Such a loss of a beautiful boy who was with us 24/7 he was our fur baby too. I'm devastated x
@@lozb1631how are you now? Does the grief subside at all? I lost my boy 16 days ago and I’m pretty sure I’m going to die.
@browneyedgirl1542 hi hang in there as your mind is computing what has happened. A year on and it's not as intense. I still have days of crying and miss him so much but try to keep reminding myself it hurts so much because I love him so much. Keep talking and give yourself mind and body time to adjust. I found a few sites helped me, honouring our animals on insta I really like. Big hugs
I lost my baby boy.. he was only 2.5.. so active healthy full of life.. my angel.. something bit him.. I still don’t know what.. how.. I have never seen anything around my house.. he is always in the house.. just randomly goes out for potty or a run.. he loved it too.. I regret not going out with him every time he went out.. I took him to so many vets .. they couldn’t find out what bit him.. so angry too .. I want him back so badly
So my wife came home with a dog close to 3 years ago. At first it was like baby we have a dog we really don't need another one. Then she told me that he was being abused so natural I changed my views on another dog. S o a year after we got Scrappy-Doo he got pneumonia and we took him to the vet and got him healed. Then in November of 2021 he started retaining fluid in his belly and we took him back and the vet helped us get him better. That same month my Dad was killed on Thanksgiving Day in a car accident. It was hard to take to not have him here anymore. Scrappy-doo would just put his paws around my neck and kiss my tears away and be like I got you daddy I am here for you. Everything was going better I was sad but having Scrappy-Doo around he could make me laugh. Well skip ahead to late February of this year and my world dropped again. Scrappy-doo starting losing weight wouldn't eat and would just puke up all the time. And understand just the week before he was running barking eating and playing. So we took him to the Vet and Thursday the 24th he was admitted to the hospital because his kidneys had failed him. It came on so sudden no real notice and so the did blood work and it wasn't good but we had hope. Friday his levels had changed to the good and he was playful but still wouldn't eat. Sunday came and the vet called and said he was in a good mood waging his tail and happy to se her. Then Monday the 28th of February 2022 was my next heartbreak. his levels had gone up above what they were when we brought him in and the Vet told us that his kidneys were just to far gone. I don't understand why take away our happiness? so as of me writing this he is sleeping on our bed next to my wife and our other dog. In less then 6 hours i will have lost my buddy that was there for me. I know it is the right thing to do so he doesn't suffer but why take away the one thing that was helping me heal I don't understand. But thank you for your video it was helpful.
How do I message you directly my husband and I loss of our boy cat Ace june 3rd vet hospital emergency. He was my baby boy I was his momma and my husband was his father. It's been hard for me and my husband. He was like our son literally. Still emotional painful. He would of been 2 July 23rd.
I lost my little Bindi yesterday…she was 13 years old look impossible to live with out my sweet angel around me ,the house sounds so empty .She confort me all this years we travel all over the world and now just to see her empty bad broke my heart I can’t stop crying.She was always there for me and now is just sadness.I don’t know what happens after die and think the she is alone pass to this transaction with out me I worry she can feel scared.But Lessing to you help me to realize she can’t be alone she is such sweet soul so probably she is surrounded of love now …Thanks to shearing
My girlfriend and I have to put one of our hens that randomly got sick this week out of her misery tomorrow. An old farmer neighbor of ours said he will do it for us because he's been doing it for a long time. Great guy. Going to be very tough walking her over there and walking home alone. Pets are family members too. Sorry for the loss of your dog 😞.
I appreciate you saying that it's ok to grieve, because I also was questioning myself especially when others do not understand.
Thank you ! I said goodbye to my best girl last night, the pain is real and unbearable, but I agree that if God loves me, He loves my dog. If He sent her to be with me because He loves me, then it makes sense He would call her home... I have the hope of Jesus that I too will be called home and I will be with all my pets again in paradise, the way He wanted it to be in the beginning. God bless you !
my cat i held everyday in my arms like a baby for 17 years passed a week ago and im floored gutted and destroyed and i dont feel the same at all. my life isnt recognizable now. Fireball I love you so so much.
I'm going thru same. I'm sick to my stomach
@@suzytheminpin9012 its been past 2 weeks,feels like day 1. time stood still. he is all I think about. im still in shock.
@@embracedchimera5886 Same that's exactly it. Time feels still. Like in a bad dream. It's all been such a blur I cant remember things barely sleep..or eat. I even took off work.
@@suzytheminpin9012 its really true what is said on the stages of grief..denial..guilt..anger! And more..forgetfulness yes me too. To eat? Like forcing tasteless rocks down.i felt like my soul was ripped out through my feet and i cant make any sense out of this loss.
@@embracedchimera5886 the stages are definitely real. Except in no order each day is a different one. I dont know what to do with myself. I feel so lost and a sense of looking for something that I'm never gonna find
My little baby boy was taken from me by a terrible accident last night. Perfect little black cat baby boy. If my love could have been enough to protect him, he would have lived forever. I am devastated. Thank you so much for this video. It made me feel less alone.
I touched my pet cat for one last time, feeling all the too familiar feelings of his fur and body as though he will be coming around anytime, 'Mommy, I am back. I am ok". I am devastated.
Thak you for this video, this helps get through the night. I just put my sweet Pepper (also a havanese) to sleep tonight. He was my best friend and will always be in my heart. I understand the grief and it's extremely heart breaking. I agree that the grief from losing a beloved dog is far more difficult than losing a human family and I think it's because animals are pure of spirit, they're angels amongst us. I spent every penny I had to try to save him but I see how much pain he was in and it would be selfish of me to keep him while his suffering. I think it's also the guilt of taking their life and the guilt of thinking that you could have done something to help not to get to that state where you have to let them go.
Thank you for this video. My dog, Willa, died during spay surgery 6 days ago and the heartache has been terrible. I cry so much my head hurts. Your video brought me the most comfort out of all the grief videos, and grief scriptures I've searched on youtube today. It's not getting easier yet, but with time it will. I'm taking it so hard because she was only 18 months old and pure joy in my life. Thank you for the prayers.
Hugs to you and prayers sweet sister. I feel like our pets will be there to greet us when we are called to heaven. Xoxoz
@@alyciaholloway2151 Yes, there are many videos on RUclips attesting to this and the majority of people who have had afterlife experiences saw their pets in Heaven, as well as Jesus
My dog died today, he lived for 16 and a half years and I’ve had him since I was 5 years old. I had a very abusive childhood and amongst all the chaos and pain, he was the only stable being I’ve ever had in my life, I feel like I have lost a brother, I’m not sure how I’ll recover from this. The worst thing is that he was old and weak but he was overly the same for a year and we thought he had a least maybe a year left, but then out of nowhere he got worse and then died the day after (today). I wasn’t there when he died, I always thought I would have at least that, but he was in a coma state and I couldn’t stay with him, I wish I could have told him that everything was okay
i.no.how.u.fill.my.dog.Jack.over..2month.now.He.was.13.2.month.old.sorry.❤
I lost my kittie Nikki last week,its been the most devastating experience.In the four years i had her she had never been sick etc,we lost her to an accident,it was traumatic.Rushed her to the vet,tried to stabilize her.....pain meds given... My hubby and i had to make the devastating decision to euthanise her cause she had no way of surviving😭😭these few days after her passing has been marked by nothing but grieve.She left such a big hole.Everything in the house reminds me of her....its so empty now..
Our furry companions don't go to heaven. They ARE heaven. 💖😇🐈🐾
this is ALL I have done since he passed is watch these videos and read articles on pet loss grief. i cant listen to a song or watch a movie (no way) i cant taste food or even want to eat...i can only focus on honoring him /connecting to him somehow.and crying. i want an orange cat stuffed animal and then im like no thatll destroy me...be too hard...it makes you feel like a little kid inside. i am 47 next month. im in a childlike state .....i think of who i was when he entered my life..at age 30...he changed it. totally. made it beautiful. i felt thrust back to age 30 then thrust back to age 6 (just young /any age) i have to honor him as a grown woman too. he taught me so much. i was his MOM. my favorite role of my life.
I lost my 5 year old English Bulldog last week. It was an awful experience, since my 12yr old daughter was the one who found him. She was home alone. It’s very traumatic for her, trying to do CPR and save him while on FaceTime with her. Our BO represented more than just a dog. My daughter and I were able to leave a psychological, narcissistic, verbally abusive piece of crap 3 years ago. During our relationship, ex wanted to by an EB from a very reputable breeder-I was opposed bc our lives were so busy and we didn’t really have time to devote to a dog. I learned the ex only saw him as $$. So, to condense this story, my daughter got us back into church (she and I). We were able to leave the ex, but he kept the dog. It absolutely killed me and my then 8 year old. I eventually got him back bc he didn’t really want the responsibility. Yay! So he was breaking out of “our jail,” not too!! He was such a precious boy. He would wake me up if I had an asthma attack in my sleep, a strange sound he didn’t like, protective over us both. FULL personality. He was my boy. The day he died, I was at work 45 minutes away. I’m a nurse and we were short staffed. I called my pastor to go get my daughter, and a neighbor to cover up my dog. Once I made it home, his body was warm and soft-just like he was sleeping, at one point I thought I could see his chest rise/fall. He was 76lbs and I couldn’t lift him to hold him but I fell to my knees and cried and cried out to God for help bc I was so open and heartbroken MORE THAN I WAS FOR a family member. Guilt from that, plus my child’s own pain, trauma. Idk how long I was there apologizing to him and what a good boy he was and how much I love him. Then I got angry. I had so many emotions bursting out. Bo was outside under the back deck and I kept a shovel there from hurricane Sally. Girl I grabbed that shovel and screamed, sobbed, beat the crap out of the railing and my phone was in the way, I didn’t care. I never heard my nextdoor neighbor with his very loud truck pull up. I lost it, fell to my knees and sobbed. Then I felt these tender hands touch my shoulders, it was loud truck’s wife. She just held me and I sobbed mascara and dirt all over her. My Mom was on her way over to get my daughter. She said that they would dig a spot for him and God was right on time, as usual:). They are so sweet and precious sand just let me lean on them. I cannot bear to move his food & water bowls. His bed, his “babies” are all there. I just can’t. I can smell him, feel him, remember the times I felt guilty for getting upset bc he had to be picked up to get on my high bed. He was afraid of the steps and anything out of place. Your video was the first one I came to. God knows. Thank you for including our faith in this. I am very sad for your sweet angel pup. Thank you for talking with me. I apologize for this being so long everyone! Prayers to you darling. Prayers for us all. God bless. ♥️🐶
wonderful message... thank you so much... 💗
My cat passed away in her 19th birthday month. She was happy & healthy all her life. In a few short weeks, she started slowing down and one morning after waking up I found she was gone. She went away to the other room at night so I don't have to see her go. I was shocked, because she didn't have any problems except arthritis. I expected her to live several more years. I miss her so much. Days seem too dark without her. She was my best friend. Still can't believe it.
Thank you for this. I miss my girl so much. It's been 72 hours. Hurts!!!! I am a Christian and believer, and I just love your voice for Him. I know I need Him right now, and I pray and believe that others have found Him through you.
I know exactly how you feel, my dear. My 14-year-old chihuahua has to put her down on May 2nd 2024 she has abdominal mass. I miss her so much that I can't stop crying. Some people don't understand they say she's just a pet. No, she was my baby girl. I don't know what I'm going to do without her. My heart is broken 💔 😢
Awesome Video! I had to put my BELOVED 16 year old Furbaby to rest on August 18 2022.. I was blessed to have had him since he was 2 weeks old. I was able to put him to rest in our home in his bedroom it was the HARDEST Decision I have ever had to make, but I had to pray and ask God and he showed me it was time to let my Furbaby go. I am totally HEARTBROKEN, but my comfort comes from having his urn and looking at his pictures and videos. I do believe all souls human or animals do go to heaven. God created all living Creatures, Genesis 1:24-25. May God continue to Bless and comfort you and your Mom🙏❤
Thank you for this video. I lost my Dog Obi, my baby this week. You said the pain all at once , thats exactly how I am feleing, pain compounded beyound belief. BUt the blessing I can testify to is my Dog brought me closer to God, for that I feeel his purpose on earth is complete.
I am experiencing such deep grief with the passing of my sweet baby girl. I was not prepared for this. It is absolutely different from grieving a person passing. I can barely function from the guilt and regret. She was absolutely everything to me. I love her so much and don’t know how to navigate this life without her.
I want my baby boy back so badly.. it is so unfair .. he was only 2.5..so healthy active.. I am mad at the world and everyone.. he got bitten by something.. I took him to so many vets to save him.. they didn’t diagnose it correctly and kept it for 5 days telling me the antibiotics have to work and it’s 5 day course.. I went with him to the hospital daily for injections for 5 days and then they are telling me his kidney has failed now.. I took him to another vet.. they told me we will try these medicines if it does not work will do dialysis.. we listened and went home .. before we could book dialysis my baby passed away with seizures.. I hate my self for waiting 5 days listening to the vet.. so incapable the vets are.. if they don’t know why are they experimenting.. it’s a precious life.. all my dreams life were planned around him..I hate it I didn’t go with him out when he went to do potty.. I should have started dialysis already…I am so mad.. my child he was .. my baby ..gone.. I hadn’t even finished loving him .. wanted to buy him so many more toys.. take him to places… I want him back
I hate it when people say to themselves that humans are suffering too and they know it’s a pet so they’re not supposed to cry for more than a day. Or feel like they have to apologise for crying ugly over a pet. And then turn around and tell me “you know how that feels like? You know to apologise” no I don’t. I don’t relate to you. I don’t feel a single need to apologise for crying about my pet. I don’t tell myself that they are people suffering. As much as it’s painful for them no way it diminishes my pain. My pet loved me unconditionally and not the next human being suffering. As much as I empathise I don’t think one pain is bigger than the other. So next time someone says “you know that feeling where you feel like you should not be crying for more than a day over a pet but you can’t help but cry” I will slap you right out of that guilt and tell you I don’t relate to you at all I feel zero guilt in mourning and crying for days over my pet who I bonded with.
I just lost my fur baby Oreo 😢 it was unexpected, one day she was here and the next she collapsed and passed in my arms. I’m so heartbroken 💔 she was the sweetest , smartest cat ever. This hurts so bad 😔 my little baby is gone
My cat passed away very unexpectedly today. He was so little, so young and had his entire life in front of him. My heart is broken. I don't know how much time I'll need to feel more at peace again, but I want to sincerely thank you for this video. I know it was posted over a year ago, but your words really assured me.
Did you ever find out why your cat died?
We will see our pets again..There are multiple scriptures in the KJV..Who did God create first. Who did God put on the Ark first. He values his creation and they have a soul..They know who their creator is. They are pure.
Thanks for the prayer
Thank you for watching Rebecca 😊I am praying you have a great day today
i had my baby for 1.5 years 💔💔💔. i left her with my boyfriend and when i came back home she was unresponsive and he was unapologetic, refusing to take any responsibility and distant - not even hugging me after i went to the vet alone and cried while holding my dead dog for 2 hours. she died the night of her second birthday. my heart is broken. i broke up with the boyfriend too. i feel guilty for leaving her alone with him when he’s so irresponsible.
It’s definitely worse than a human loss. I loved my dog so very much. He’s only been gone 1 month. I miss him so much.
It's been almost a week since we had to put our beloved cat Marley down who was 10. He was diagnosed with Diabetes and was a candidate for Bexacat. His body shut down from it and we had him at the vet hospital for a week and he couldn't recover. Saying goodbye to him broke me and a part of me died when I had to let him go. I will miss him everyday.
My cat who is almost 17’s health is rapidly declining. Apparently, based on her blood work, a lot of her organs are failing and she isn’t doing well. I love my kitty so much and I’ve had her ever since I was born❤️ we are going to get her blood work done again tomorrow, and we are hoping for the best. If the tests are true, then she doesn’t have much time left and we are even considering putting her down tomorrow. Every time she walks she stumbles a little and the vet when we first met with her even said that she was fully blind because her pupil weren’t dilating when exposed to light and she was walking into things. A little later, she was able to see again. We don’t know if it was a seizure and we are still trying to find out what is happening to her. She is coughing up blood pretty frequently and they think it might be a tumor. Wish me and my family luck tomorrow so my baby can stay❤️❤️ edit: we had to put her to forever sleep today. I love and miss you so much my cutie❤️
I lost my dear dog Nora this monday,i dont think i can live on,this hurt to mutch,my best,dearest friend❤,,i feel so mutch for all people,who have lost their dearest pets😢❤
I once again want to thank you for helping through the grieving process of loosing my baby Hooch. You video helped me a lot . I will never forget my Hooch and I can’t wait to see him again. Thank you.
I’m struggling so much! I had to put my senior dog down yesterday , we also rescued my dog at the age of 12 and was with us for 4 years and I’m so sad. I miss him so much he was a great companion, I struggle to get through my days because I miss his presence, I want him back so bad 😢
My dog was partly blind and he had super bad teeth and a fractured jaw when we got him, we ended up getting his 5 teeth extracted when we got him, and then as of this past week he ate something that was too hard for his teeth and jaw, he was in such bad pain. He stopped eating 3 days ago and we took him to the vet and he was considered high risk. The vet said he was high risk and we had to make the call to put him down. I know he’s no longer in pain but that doesn’t ease the pain of him being gone. I miss him so much. 💔💔💔💔💔
my beautifull cat was hit by a vehicle. this world is terrible.. this world is cruel and unfair, life sucks
I agree with you when you said about your dog being in the box after being cremated. I thought exactly the same, my vet rang me to say do you want to come and get her we thought you would like her to be with you, or shall we bring her to you and I could not have faced going down to pick her up, so they brought her to me and I could hardly take the box from my vet, it was so painful, it still is five weeks later. She’s here in the living room with me I can’t look at the box it’s too upsetting for me.
I lost my 1 year old husky to lepto yesterday. Her body was shutting down, and only had less than week to live. It's heartbreaking. She was so young.
Over a month, and I'm still crying as hard as ever over the loss of my 14 year old Peekapoo Sugar. The grief monster does not go away however long. The emotional pain is almost unbearable at times. I know it will take a long time.
My sisters cat got ran over on Sunday and he died instantly. He was only 4. I had to see him to confirm it was him. I haven't slept since because I can just see him. Sometimes I said I hated him or that he was a stupid cat but he was the best cat I could ever ask for. From the moment he chose us we knew he was going to fit in well. I miss head rubs in the morning and his purring while u give him a fuss. I would do anything to have one more day with him. We also had to Bury him this morning. Whenever I hear the song "you'll be in my heart" from tarzan I cry because my sister qnd my cat danced to it q couple of days ago. Also the words in that song talk about protecting him and I feel like I have failed to do that because if I had protected him he would be alive and next to me right now and my sisters heart wouldn't be breaking right now. I don't know why I I told you all of this but I am so relieved to get this off my chest. I am currently lieing in bed crying and looking at his pile of things that are ready to go away somewhere. It's hard but ik we will get through it. ❤👍
I had to put my dog Spanky to sleep a couple of days ago. He had congestive heart failure and despite medication, special diet and visits to the Vet to have fluid removed the complications became too much. He passed with his head on my lap and me comforting and petting him. The Vet and Vet Tech got to see a 66 year old man sobbing with tears running down his cheeks. My other dog and I are struggling with his loss. Your comments about being at home during the pandemic and giving you more time with your dog resonated with me, it was the same for us the last year. Spanky was a great companion and I really miss him. The tears are still coming. Thank you for making this video, it helps a lot.
I lost my 15 year old spaniel last week, and I feel as though my sidekick has gone. He was my shadow and we went almost everywhere together, even in the house! All sorts of decisions were taken with him in mind……holidays, days out etc. and now that has stopped dead. When I come home from work it’s so hard…he’s not there on his bed looking up at me, wagging his tail and standing to greet me. Bringing his ashes home gave us a focus, rather than looking around the house wondering where he was, we direct our ‘chats’ with him to his urn and we’ve put it on our hearth where he used to lay his head. It’s still really hard and i still cry a lot for him. Sometimes the yearning to hold him again is so intense and my insides feel hollow but heavy at the same time. But we try to direct our thoughts to happier times with him and we can smile about him.
We just had to put my dog to sleep this week and it the worst thing I ever had to do she had cancer and was weak and bleeding from the rectum, She was my loyal, loving best friend she was who calmed me and I her I feel lost and am having panic attacks. I have been searching for help and find comfort in knowing that I am not alone with the grief I am experiencing. Thank you for sharing and so sorry for your loss.
I also cried at the vet because I never thought this could have happened to me so soon. She is only five years. My Guilt haunted my mind that I had not given her enough care and attention. It is the first vet clinic providing such bad medication and their negligence that killed my vet. I am going to file a charge case against but in China due to the legal system I am not expecting much.
i really hope that vets in other countries dont charge as much as the snake slimeball australian Vets. Absolutely fkin disgusted with the poor level of care and dollar over everything attitude. If youve ever lost your friend or had to put them down, its heartwrenching, but stay strong, remember the good times and pray that god our heavenly father is looking after their innocent little souls.
My heart is so broken. I had to put my dog down at 13. Now I am all alone now. I couldn't go to work today because I was crying too much. I will go in tomorrow.
I lost my girl a year and a half ago in 2020 too. I am better now but still have my bad days. Grief comes in waves even years later. So glad I found this. Thank you & I am so sorry for your loss.
Thank you for making and sharing this video.
I had to let my Rowdy Boy go just a little over a month ago due to a heart issue that came with his age. I got him when he was 5 weeks old and he passed away at 12 years old. I'm still so devastated and I feel so empty inside not having him here because it's only been just me and him for the past 7 years. I hate that his condition got so bad that I had to have him put down but I'm glad I was able to have it done here at home where he was comfortable. But my days without him are just so miserable the routine I had with him has just changed completely. I miss our morning, afternoon and evening walks together. I can't even do it anymore without crying to be honest. I miss everything! Him laying on the bed next to me, or him crying and whining and jumping all over me as soon as I get home from work, him cuddling next to me all night as we slept. He was such a good son, friend, and a very loyal faithful companion. He will definitely be missed for many years. I'm so lost without him 😢💔
